Traditional French Style Market Basket Bag: 'Olivia' Natural

I love this basket! I no longer use any of my handbags, I just am the basket lady now!It has a generous size and I wear it like a tote, I can have all my shopping in it and also and it just works for me.To me it is very stylish and the quality is good and the handles are sturdy.It definitely is a great staple in your wardrobe.

This is a present for my Sister who had always admired my own basket, It is beautiful it smells of hay and french air. It has soft leather handles which are firmly attached to the hand worked body of the basket. It is soft and pliable and will hold everything you could think of if you were taking this to the beach or all you lovely goodies for a (huge) picnic in the country (including 2 or 3 bottles of fizz as well as a softer option for the children) plus food and the essential waterproof blanket. I love the colour and if this is anything like my own basket which has seen much service will age with style. It arrived safely and speedily in a huge box a perfect transaction without problems. Go on join the revolution get a basket and save the earth and look chic at the same time . One thing if you have petit hands perhaps the longer shoulder straps would be an idea as the more you put into the basket the wider it gets, I have quite long fingers and I admit I do over load sometimes, and the handles get wider apart not to mention heavier so the shoulder straps would help with the weight.

Love this large size. Made well and not heavy or difficult to carry. Holds lots. Useful for day out or general shopping

This is a super strong big bag; unlike cheaper ones available. It easily fits a picnic with blanket or everything you need for a day out at the beach. Would highly recommend.

Lovely quality got it in advance for an 80th birthday present so not used yet.Sister in law always admired my basket so I'm sure she will love it.

Lovely basket and I’m very pleased with it. A good size, packaged well and delivery excellent. If I had to say one thing it would be that I thought it may be a bit stronger. It feels quite light and initially I’m a little concerned regarding what weight it can carry. I won’t be filling it with heavy stuff anyway. Have seen others that appear very strong but a lot more expensive so I guess as this one wasn’t expensive you get what you pay for. Still love it and time will tell.

It's O.K. It is much to big to carry around just when you pop out for a quick shop or putting it in on the bike. Nice but if I had a chance to see it before - I wouldn't have bought it. Good quality though. Good handles.

In France everyone in the supermarket or the market place has one of these lovely baskets, they are so very practical and also gorgeous! You can fit an enormous amount of shopping into one of these and the basket and handles are sturdy enough to take quite a weight. I don't understand why we don't all have them here as they are so practical and environmentally friendly. At every check-out I get comments about my lovely basket... I wouldn't be surprised if they became the next big fashion accessory!
