A highly recommended bookkeeper.
Made with love (it’s fairtrade, too!), this basket will happily hold—and show off—dried flowers or herbs, magazines, newspapers, and oh, yes, books. The sturdy weave will keep everything safe and sound while a little leather strap lets you hang it next to your coats in the entryway or all on it’s own, adding a rustic touch to the wall.

beautifully made!
I adore this basket! It's so beautiful and functional. I have hooks in my entryway (similar to the photos) and I've tried using tote bags as a "go" place for items that I need to take with me when I leave, something that needs to be returned or dropped off (small packages, mail, library books, etc). In the summer I know we'll use this to keep sunscreen and hats to grab on our way out the door. If you have a dog, I feel like this would be perfect for their leash, potty bags, etc. The basket is beautifully made and surprisingly sturdy. It's so unique yet surprisingly simple. It holds a lot but stays close too the wall without taking up too much space. (quick note on the color: its lighter in person than in the Food52 photos. it's more the color of a water hyacinth basket, the classic lighter basket color- which I was very happy about, but if you want that darker caramel color you'll be disappointed)
Hanging on my front door handle
I LOVE this basket! I hung it on our inside front door handle and put various small items in it that I want to make sure to take with me to the car. It is the perfect size to hang on the handle....not too big and not too small. I lvoe baskets in general becasue they are so adaptable but this one I love the best! It has a leather strap so it is durable as well and the price was right.
This little basket is beautiful!
This was a case of one for a friend and one for me! We both loved it, it even smells good and looks great as a catch-all for recipes that I print out!
