Rattan Tote Basket with Washable Lining, Handwoven Bamboo Picnic and Flower Basket for Camping and Markets
Rattan Tote Basket with Washable Lining, Handwoven Bamboo Picnic and Flower Basket for Camping and Markets
A picnic basket with a lining you can take out and wash.
Details
This rattan tote basket is handwoven bamboo with a lining you can lift out and wash, which separates a picnic basket you use every weekend from one shut in a cabinet after it got dirty once. The bamboo weave is light and stiff, so the basket stands on its own and does not fold in on a loaf. The handles clear your arm, leaving a hand for the gate or the dog.
This is the basket that leaves the house: to the park with bread, cheese and a bottle, to the market for vegetables, into the garden for cut flowers, hanging from the elbow while you pay. Back home it waits by the door or on a kitchen shelf holding fruit. Picnic basket, market basket or flower basket: it goes with linen, wooden boards and enamel mugs, and because the lining washes it can do a muddy garden run one day and a picnic the next.
The body is bamboo and it is wipe only: a damp cloth, then air dry. Never soak it or leave it in the rain. The lining is removable and machine washable: when it gets grubby, shake the crumbs out, machine wash it and put it back once dry. Store the basket empty and dry between outings.

Why it earns its place
Washable lining
The lining lifts out and goes in the machine, so a spilt drink or a leaking punnet is not the end of the basket.
Handles clear the arm
Carry it on the crook of your arm with a hand free for the gate, the dog or a child.
Woven bamboo
A light, stiff weave that keeps its shape with a bottle and a loaf inside. Wipe the basket; wash the lining.
In your home
This is the basket that goes out of the house: to the park with bread, cheese and a bottle, to the market for vegetables, into the garden for cut flowers. The handles clear your arm, so it hangs from the elbow while you pay or open a gate.
At home it sits by the door or on a kitchen shelf holding fruit or the things that need to go back out. Bamboo sits well with linen, wooden boards and enamel mugs, and because the lining washes, it can do a muddy allotment run one day and a picnic the next.
Materials and quality
The body is woven bamboo, which is light and stiff, so the basket stands up on its own and does not fold in on a loaf. The detail that makes it usable is the lining: it is removable and machine washable, which is the difference between a picnic basket you take out every weekend and one that stays in a cupboard because it got dirty once. Wipe the bamboo; put only the lining in the wash.
Care and everyday use
Take the lining out and wash it in the machine when it gets grubby, then put it back once dry. The bamboo itself is wipe only: a damp cloth, then air dry. Do not soak it or leave it out in the rain. Store it empty and dry between outings, and shake crumbs out before the lining goes in the wash.

Is it comfortable to carry?
