Premium Traditional Basket with Brown Leather Reinforcements – El Masna Bazaar Selection

Product Description

Rediscover the authenticity of the Tunisian basket in its finest form with our Traditional Basket with Brown Leather Handles. Passionately sourced by El Masna Bazaar from the heart of the Sousse medina, this exceptional piece perfectly blends rural basketry craftsmanship with the refinement of Tunisian leatherwork, all handmade by talented local artisans.

As shown in the image, this woven palm basket stands out for its high-quality genuine leather detailing in a rich, earthy brown hue. The leather elegantly trims the entire upper edge to prevent fraying and extends down the front and back in an "X" pattern—riveted at the center—which significantly reinforces the structure. The leather handles, featuring neat braided stitching along the top, ensure a sturdy and ergonomic grip.

For optimal ease of use, the basket is fully lined with a light-colored, durable fabric. Measuring 37 cm in diameter and 24 cm in height, it is the perfect companion for your outings:

• Everyday authenticity: Ideal for strolling through cobblestone alleys, shopping for fresh fruit (oranges, dates, etc.), and carrying your reading material or a linen throw.

• Natural elegance: Its graphic design, defined by leather lines, makes it a truly timeless fashion accessory that pairs beautifully with natural materials like linen.

Maintenance tips

To clean natural fibers, use a dry cloth or a soft brush. To preserve the suppleness and color of the brown leather, we recommend occasionally applying a leather conditioning lotion or moisturizing cream using a soft cloth. Store away from prolonged exposure to moisture.
