Natural Rattan Basket Top Handle Bag with Drawstring Top
A basket bag woven by hand in rattan, with an embroidered band across the front and a drawstring that gathers the top. A patterned inner pouch lifts out, and a wide embroidered shoulder strap clips on.
Woven and embroidered by hand, so a lot is only as long as the hands.
On the deck, in the wind
The ferry out to an island is an hour on deck with the same forty people, and there is nothing to look at but each other and the water. The basket sits on the bench beside you or on the strap across your front, the embroidered band facing out, within reach of anyone’s eye.
Hand-woven rattan among wheeled suitcases reads as somebody who has done this crossing before and knows what the week requires. The embroidery is the detail people work out as the crossing goes on, and by the time the harbour comes up you are being asked where you are staying.
You arrive looking like you live there.
Rattan woven by hand, band embroidered
The basket is woven by hand in rattan, so the weave shifts slightly from one bag to the next and the structure comes from the weave itself rather than from anything inside it. Across the front runs an embroidered band, worked in colour against the natural tone.
A drawstring gathers the top, which closes the basket enough to carry it over water or through a crowd. The inner pouch is patterned and lifts out, so the basket can be emptied in one movement. A pair of rolled top handles take it by hand, and the wide embroidered shoulder strap clips on.

Hands set the limit on baskets
Each basket is woven by hand and then embroidered by hand, band and strap both, which puts a hard ceiling on how many exist at once. Rattan is also seasonal, and a return of the same run is not guaranteed.
Take it while it is listed, before the season turns. Fourteen days is enough to pack it once and decide.
