Small Handmade Bucket Basket | Woven Handles

Small handmade bucket basket with woven handles

This small round palm leaf bucket basket is a compact and characterful carry for the garden, the farmers market and the weekly shop. Handwoven from palm leaves with short woven handles, it is strong enough for a useful load and small enough to take anywhere. The kind of basket that gets picked up every day.

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, which means slight variations in size, tone and texture are a natural part of the product: no two are identical. The round bucket shape sits upright and stable, making it practical for carrying produce, herbs and cut flowers without them tipping or bruising.

A small basket with a big role

At 30cm in circumference and 25cm deep the bucket basket is perfectly sized for a quick harvest from the herb garden, a trip to the farmers market or a handful of cut flowers from the garden. It is also a natural fit for children — sized for small hands and light enough to carry comfortably on a garden walk or a visit to the local grocer.
