Handmade Harvest Backpack Basket | Leather Handles

A handwoven palm leaf backpack basket

A narrow, structured backpack-style basket handwoven from palm leaves, with adjustable leather straps that sit over the shoulders and short leather handles for carrying by hand. The narrow profile keeps it close to the back.

Handwoven from palm leaves

Palm leaf weaving produces a basket that is lighter and more flexible than wicker, stronger and more durable than straw and naturally resistant to the wear that comes with regular use. Each basket is handmade in Morocco, which means slight variations in size, tone and texture are a natural part of the product.
