French Market Basket Double Handle Tote

The Ultimate Versatile Tote: Double-Handle Moroccan Market Basket

Discover the bag that redefined the "French Market" style. Sourced directly from the artisan souks of Marrakech, this Double-Handle Straw Tote solves the age-old problem of carrying heavy loads. Whether you are browsing a farmers market, heading to a picnic, or commuting to the office, this bag adapts to you—not the other way around.

Two Ways to Carry: The Double-Handle Advantage The standout feature of this basket is its ingenious four-strap design, crafted from genuine Moroccan leather.

• The Short Handles: Perfect for a quick grab-and-go or carrying by hand when maneuvering through crowded spaces.

• The Long Shoulder Straps: When your basket is full of groceries or beach gear, simply switch to the long straps. They are designed to fit comfortably over your shoulder, distributing the weight and keeping your hands free.

Authentic Craftsmanship & Materials We reject factory uniformity in favor of human artistry.

• Woven by Hand: Each basket is hand-woven by Amazigh artisans using ribbons of "Doum" palm leaf. This sustainable, local fiber is known for its incredible strength and resistance. The tight weave ensures the basket keeps its structure, even when empty.

• Genuine Leather: The straps are made from natural tanned leather, securely riveted to the basket for maximum durability.

  • Note: The leather is natural and untreated, meaning it starts with a light tan color and will gradually darken to a rich, vintage caramel hue with exposure to sunlight and use. This natural aging process (patina) makes your bag uniquely yours.

A Sustainable Lifestyle Essential In an era of disposable plastic, this basket is a statement of sustainability. It is 100% biodegradable, reusable, and built to last for years.

• Grocery Shopping: The flat bottom keeps milk cartons, wine bottles, and eggs upright. The open top makes loading and unloading at the checkout breeze.

• Beach & Pool: Sand shakes right out of the weave. It fits multiple towels, toys, and sunscreen with room to spare.

• Home Organization: Available in sizes Small to X-Large, these baskets are beautiful enough to leave out in your home. Use them to store firewood, blankets, knitting supplies, or toys.

Size Guide Since every basket is handmade, dimensions may vary slightly (approx +/- 3cm), but we offer four distinct sizes to fit your needs:

• Small: Great for a quick lunch run or as a gift hamper.

• Medium: The standard handbag size. Fits daily essentials comfortably.

• Large: The classic shopper. Ideal for the weekly market run.

• X-Large: For bulk shopping, laundry, or large family beach trips.

Care Instructions

• Reshaping: If your basket arrives slightly folded from its journey, do not worry! This is normal for natural palm leaf. Simply wet the straw thoroughly with water, reshape it with your hands, and let it dry in the sun. It will become rigid and sturdy again.

• Leather Care: To keep the leather straps soft, you can occasionally treat them with a natural leather conditioner or oil.
