What makes this straw beach basket with wave design special
A wave pattern is woven into the body, one of the more decorative designs in the collection. It is woven by hand, so the texture of the palm is slightly different on every piece.
Handwoven in Morocco from doum palm and genuine leather
Every straw beach basket with wave design is handmade in Morocco by local artisans from natural raw materials. The palm is woven by hand and finished with genuine leather details, so small differences in shade and shape are part of the charm. Our story goes back to 1962.
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.
Size and fit
The straw beach basket with wave design measures 27 × 16 × 26 cm (length × width × height). That makes it a practical everyday size.
How to use your straw beach basket with wave design
Take the straw beach basket with wave design 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
To clean the straw beach basket with wave design, brush off dust with a soft brush and wipe it with a lightly damp cloth. Let it dry naturally, away from direct sun and heaters. A little leather conditioner now and then keeps the leather supple.
