Handcrafted basket bags are a genuine alternative to any plastic bag, making them perfect for use as market or shopping totes. They also serve as spacious bags for your next picnic, offering plenty of room. As a unique home accessory, they effortlessly complement almost any interior style and add a stunning, naturally eye-catching touch. The best part? Their production is fair and sustainable, making them an even more appealing choice.
The production
The basket weaver skillfully intertwines the dried palm leaves sourced from local palm plantations. Strictly speaking, this makes our basket bags more akin to straw bags than traditional basket bags. Each of our bags is entirely handcrafted, with the leather coming from local small-scale farms and processed in the historic tanning and dyeing districts. The handles and leather accents are sourced ready-made by our manufacturer from skilled leather artisans.
Pricing
We work very closely with our manufacturer and have full insight into all production processes, as well as the fair working conditions. By doing so, we bypass a whole chain of middlemen, allowing us to offer you a very competitive price. Some of our bag designs are our own creations, crafted exclusively for us.
