Know before you buy
The palm leaf construction is surprisingly robust and designed for everyday use. While it is sturdy enough for standard grocery hauls, we recommend distributing weight evenly to maintain the basket's structural integrity over time.
Yes, the basket features two 18-inch shoulder straps specifically designed for hands-free carrying. The additional 6-inch hand straps provide a secondary option for when you prefer to carry it at your side.
Because each basket is 100% handmade by artisans, slight variations in weave, color, and shape are expected. These unique characteristics are a hallmark of the craftsmanship and do not affect the functionality of the bag.
For light cleaning, wipe the palm leaves with a damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid submerging the basket in water, as excessive moisture can weaken the natural fibers and damage the leather straps.
The Large (18 x 11 inches) is ideal for quick market trips or daily errands. If you are packing bulky items like beach towels, blankets, or a large picnic spread, the Extra Large (22 x 14 inches) offers the necessary extra capacity.
