Rectangular at the rim and tapering in to a smaller base, woven from full light steamed willow with two real leather straps that buckle round the handlebars. Square corners give more usable floor than a round basket of the same width. One size, front mounting.
A bag sits down in it squarely instead of slumping, which is what most riders want on a commute, along with shopping, a coat or flowers. The taper carries a load above the wheel rather than against it. Nothing clips or locks, so there is no plastic mount to break.

FAQs
Will it fit my handlebars?
The straps are 25 cm each, which wraps the bars on a standard adult bike. Measure round yours before you order if you have thick grips, bar tape or a mounted light in the way. For a child's bike this basket is usually too big, and our child's bike basket is the one to look at.
Front or rear?
Front only. It hangs from the handlebars and sits upright against the head tube, so there is nothing to mount it to a rear rack and nothing holding the contents in if it were tilted.
Can I leave it on the bike in the rain?
You can, but it will not last as long. The willow is unsealed and the straps are real leather, so a basket that is repeatedly soaked and dried will grey off and stiffen. Bringing it in after a wet ride is worth the thirty seconds.
Does it lock or unclip quickly?
Neither. It is buckled on, which takes a moment at each end but means there is no bracket or plastic mount to fail. Most people leave it fitted and lift their bag out instead.
