At 40 cm tall, it holds taller items such as bottles upright.
Handwoven in Morocco from doum palm and genuine leather
Moroccan craftsmanship connects the past and the present, and this piece is a small example. It is made from doum palm and genuine leather, the kind of natural materials the Green Doum family has worked with since 1962. Learn more about our family business.
Doum palm is one of the traditional raw materials of Moroccan craftsmanship, alongside date palm leaves and rush. It weaves into a light, natural-looking fabric, and the leather adds strength where the piece is handled.
Weaving baskets from plant fibres is one of the oldest crafts in the world and is found in many cultures; for a general overview, see this page on basket weaving.
The leather is genuine leather: it softens and darkens naturally with use, so your piece gains character over time.

The beach towel basket measures 32 × 18 × 40 cm (length × width × height). At that height it takes tall items upright.
This listing is the XL size. The same style is also available in size XXL: Large Beach Towel Basket with Leather Straps and Doum Handle – XXL.
How to use your beach towel basket
Take the beach towel basket to the beach or the pool: towels, sunscreen, a book and a bottle of water all fit. The natural palm looks at home on the sand.
Use this piece for beach days, picnics or swimming trips. It is light to carry, and the natural palm and leather look good at the sea and in town.
How to care for it
Avoid soaking the palm weave of your beach towel basket. If it gets wet, shake off the water, shape it by hand and dry it flat in the shade. When you are not using it, stuff it lightly with paper and store it away from damp.
