Watch the quality control
I received a basket with a visible fold near one handle that looked like a weaving error; the rest of the weave was straight. I returned it and reordered, hoping the replacement will be better. The design is beautiful, but inconsistent assembly can be frustrating given how much the item feels like a handcrafted investment.

Perfect for market runs
Spacious and well-built — I take it to the farmers market every weekend. The long shoulder straps and short handles are both useful. I’ve also used it for beach trips; it holds a lot and cleans up easily.

Absolutely love it
I bought this after seeing a recommendation. When I opened it there was a pleasant straw-and-leather aroma. It's well made, attractive, and works both as a tote and as a place to keep books and small items close at hand. Highly recommend.
