Description
This is for the person who's ready to retire the canvas tote.
The T-Striped Shopping Basket is a chic, structured alternative to the usual market bag. It's handwoven from rattan in Midnight and Smoked stripes, with wrapped side handles that make it comfortable to carry. Light but durable, it's an easy pick for market runs and everyday errands.
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.
