This is the authentic panier du marché, the traditional straw market basket used for centuries throughout France. With a spacious interior and durable construction, it is seen almost as often on beaches and at picnics as it is in markets.

Sturdy and functional, these handcrafted baskets embody the chic and practical French lifestyle. The simple, natural look has a timeless charm that has landed versions of them on the runways of Céline, Chloé, and Saint Laurent. But no need to jet to France—this is the original. 

Harvested from the groves of date palms in the Moroccan deserts, these traditional baskets are woven in the round and offer a celebration of authenticity and a testament to the skilled hands behind every piece.

The baskets are manufactured by a US company that collaborates with artisans globally and in the US. Each piece tells a unique story that embodies the rich cultural heritage and craftsmanship of its origin. 

The company’s overseas suppliers partner with women's collectives in Bangladesh and artisan weavers from Morocco, and they also employ local artists from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.

Dimensions: 20" long x 13" tall x 7" wide bottom. Expands to about 15" wide.

Has two leather straps on each side so you can use the shorter ones to carry the basket by hand or the longer ones to sling it over your shoulder.
