Our vegetable hawker was quite happy to weigh out the produce and replace it in the basket this morning. It was the maiden voyage for this durable basket that is locally made from local materials. The guy who sold it to us did not know the English name for the dark brown plant that is used for these baskets. The light colored material is bamboo.
Love your basket. Wish the markets I frequent here in the US would use them rather than all the plastic bags.
Very nice basket! All of my local thrift stores have huge stockpiles of baskets for sale. I’ve been meaning to make a stop on the way home from work to pick a few up, and I think your picture has motivated me to finally do it.
Thanks!
