- Two lids that open from the middle. Each half lifts on its own, so you can reach in for a bottle without putting the basket down and without the whole top swinging out of the way.
- Woven by hand from willow. Every rod is worked around the frame by hand, which is why no two baskets have quite the same grain. The weave is tight enough to carry glass and crockery without flexing.
- Lined, and the liner is the nice part. A fabric liner folds over the rim with a lace edge and ties in a bow at the side, and a round crochet doily is stitched to the front. It is the detail that makes it look like something inherited rather than something bought.
- Crochet cover on the handle. The grip of the curved willow handle is wrapped in cream crochet, so the handle sits softer in your hand on the walk across the park.
- 39 x 29 cm, 36 cm to the top of the handle. Big enough for a flask, a board, glasses and a loaf for two, small enough to carry in one hand and to sit on a shelf the rest of the year.
- Three colourways. Wood red for pale willow with red gingham, Coffee burlap for dark willow with plain cream linen, and Wood burlap for pale willow with the same cream linen.
Made to be used, not just carried out once
The frame is thick willow worked tight, with the lids hinged on the back rail so they fold flat open. It holds its oval shape when it is full, which is the difference between a basket you take out every summer and one that ends up in a cupboard after the first picnic.
The liner
The cloth liner sits inside the basket and folds out over the rim, with lace along the edge and a ribbon bow at the front left. It keeps what you pack from catching on the weave, and it lifts out so you can shake the crumbs out of it afterwards.
Not only for picnics
Out of season it works as storage in plain sight: bread on a kitchen counter, logs by a fireplace, wool by a chair, toys in a hallway. The lids keep the dust off whatever is inside.
Looking after it
Wipe the willow with a barely damp cloth and let it dry in the air. Keep it out of long direct sun and out of the rain, and wash the liner by hand on its own.
