Basket of bounty.
Tote your farmers market spoils (or a load of laundry, or a couple of beach towels and a good book!) around in this chic, simple market basket made from sturdy and flexible date palm leaf. Two sets of thick leather handles let you carry it in hand, and the flat bottom keeps it standing on its own while you do your thing.

Perfect tote
Great sturdy tote for running errands and looks great hanging by the front door too! Will be ordering another one as a gift.
Beautiful basket
This basket was much nicer than I expected. I will be using it for many things. In my home for storage, at flea markets, at the beach. I may even have to purchase more similar ones. Highly recommended.
