Chic Palm Leaf and Black Leather Moses Basket – El Masna Bazaar Selection

Product Description

Rediscover the charm of the quintessential Tunisian basket through a decidedly urban and sophisticated version: our Traditional Basket with Black Leather Handles. Carefully selected by El Masna Bazaar—your go-to destination in the heart of the Sousse Medina—this piece is entirely hand-woven and assembled by passionate artisans possessing ancestral expertise, based in the key regions of Tunisian basketry.

As the image beautifully highlights, this natural palm-fiber basket captivates with its remarkably uniform, artisanal weave. Its distinctive character lies in the genuine black leather detailing that breaks with convention: a wide, top-stitched rim elegantly defines the opening, while black leather straps cross in an "X" pattern on the sides, secured by a delicate central metal stud. The sturdy, rigid, tubular leather double handles ensure an excellent grip, allowing it to be carried comfortably over the shoulder or in the crook of the arm.

With its generous flared shape and stable base, this modern Moses basket adapts to every moment of your daily life:

• A stylish summer companion for the city: Perfect for everyday city outings or leisurely strolls through the medina’s cobblestone alleys (as shown in the image). It instantly adds a touch of chic contrast to a casual look or a light linen outfit.

• Generous capacity: Its wide opening reveals a spacious interior (shown in detail in the image) capable of comfortably holding a rolled-up fouta or throw blanket, your sunglasses, a book, your wallet, and your small daily essentials.
