This creel is woven in full double steamed willow, a deep honey brown that wears marks without showing them, and fitted with dark brown real leather, a clasp fastening and a canvas shoulder strap that adjusts. One size, in the traditional oval creel shape.
The strap is the reason to choose a creel over an open basket: it carries at the hip and leaves both hands free, which is why anglers used them and why the shape outlived the job. Markets, picnics, foraging and days out are what it does now, the clasp keeping everything in.

FAQs
Is the shoulder strap adjustable?
Yes. It is canvas and adjusts, so it can be worn cross-body or on one shoulder depending on your height and what you are wearing.
How much does it hold?
At 36 x 21 cm and 15 cm deep it is a compact basket rather than a big one: enough for a few items from a market, a picnic for two, or an afternoon's foraging. If you want a full shop, our shoppers and market baskets are the wider option.
Do people actually fish with them?
Some do. The design comes straight from the traditional angler's creel, and the strap and clasp are there for that job. Most of ours go to people who want a shoulder basket that is not a bag.
Will the leather mark?
It is real leather, so it darkens and softens with handling in the way leather does. Keep it dry and out of prolonged damp and it ages rather than wears.
