Description
This is for the weekend wanderer who likes to keep both hands free.
Made to be worn, and made for weekends. A long strap lets the Retro Striped Shoulder Basket sit comfortably on your shoulder, and the sturdy closed base holds anything from a laptop to loose produce from the farmers' market. Woven with a bold Blue Moon stripe that won't date.
Underwater Weaving is the basket studio Brooklyn artist Erin Pollard started with her mother, Peggy, in Maine. Everything is woven by hand by the two of them and a small team.
Hands free, market ready.
