{"product_id":"handwoven-palm-leaf-basket-tote","title":"Handwoven Palm Leaf Basket Tote — Moroccan Straw Market Bag with Leather Handles","description":"\u003cp\u003eA market basket woven by hand from dried palm leaf, with the fronds laid in a herringbone pattern that runs the full height of the body. The weave gives it a matte, slightly coarse grain and enough structure to stand on its own when you set it down. The mouth is wide and tapers gently towards a narrower base, so it keeps its shape whether it is carrying groceries, a beach towel or a laptop and notebook.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandwoven palm leaf (body); leather (handles and rivet patches)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeave pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHerringbone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e48 x 20 x 35 cm (19 x 8 x 14 in), +\/- 2%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural beige body, dark brown handles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStitching\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite cotton, hand-sewn at the handle patches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardware\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSilver-tone rivets\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.5 kg empty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCarry style\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShort handles (handheld) or long handles (shoulder)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMorocco\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNew\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eConstruction\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHerringbone weave:\u003c\/strong\u003e the split palm fronds are worked in a chevron across the whole body, then closed at the top with a braided rim that holds the opening in shape.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLeather handles:\u003c\/strong\u003e each handle is rolled leather, seated on a stitched leather patch and fixed through the rim with a rivet on either side.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo carry heights:\u003c\/strong\u003e the short handles sit in the hand; the long handles clear the shoulder.
