A hand-woven oval market basket in kubu rattan, the mouth drawing in towards a narrower base, a fixed handle over the top. Kubu rattan is soaked and dried before weaving, which is where the soft grey comes from. It comes unlined or with a Cordura lining.

The wide opening is the useful part: a full load sits up where you can see and reach it rather than wedging into the bottom corners. The sides hold their shape under weight instead of bowing out and loosening the handle. Groceries, cut flowers, laundry between rooms, or throws beside a sofa.

• Kubu rattan, naturally grey rather than dyed
• 52 x 40 cm opening above a narrower base
• Fixed handle standing 34 cm from the base
• 1.3 kg empty, so the weight you feel is the shopping
• Unlined, or with a Cordura lining
• Markets, groceries, laundry, picnics, cut flowers, open storage

Many of our products are made from natural materials, so colours and dimensions may vary slightly. Please allow a +/-5% tolerance on product dimensions.

FAQs

Is it big enough for a weekly shop?

For most people, yes. The opening is 52 x 40 cm and the basket is 24 cm deep, which works out at roughly the volume of two large shopping bags. In practice that is a full trip to a market or a farm shop, or the fresh half of a supermarket run. It is a wide, shallow basket rather than a deep one, so bulky items like bread and greens travel better in it than tins.

Should I choose lined or unlined?

Unlined is lighter and easier to shake out, which covers most shopping and general carrying. Take the Cordura lining if you are carrying produce, damp flowers or anything likely to mark the weave, since it wipes down.

Is it comfortable to carry when full?

The handle sits 34 cm above the base, high enough to hook over a forearm and still have a hand free for a door or a car boot. At 1.3 kg the basket itself adds very little to what you are carrying, and the sides hold their shape rather than splaying under the load.

What else do people use this rattan shopping basket for?

It carries laundry between rooms, picnic kit out to a garden, or flowers and secateurs round a plot. Left out, it works as open storage beside a sofa for throws or magazines.
