$368.00

Why it's here

Functional sculptures, made to be used every day.

Design Pleasant Mountain Lobster Basket Midnight & Natural Dungaree Lee Navy & French Blue Blueberry Syrup

From: Maine & Brooklyn, USA
Material: Natural, mature rattan

This is for the person who packs light and looks good doing it.

The Retro Travel Tote has a carefree, '70s road-trip spirit: compact, light and just the right size to work as an everyday carryall, a picnic basket or a carry-on. A closed bottom and wrapped side handles keep it practical; the woven stripes do the rest.

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. Each colorway is dyed by hand, so no two are quite alike.

Road trip optional. Snacks strongly encouraged.
