Handwoven Moroccan Palm Leaf Basket with Leather Handles

Handwoven in the Basket Souks of Fes

This palm leaf basket is handwoven by artisans in Fes, where basket-making has been passed down through generations in the city's historic medina. Each basket begins with locally harvested Moroccan palm leaves, split and dried before being woven into tight, structured rows. The weavers work without patterns or templates, relying on practiced hands to create the basket's clean lines and sturdy form. Leather handles in tan or dark tan are hand-stitched to the rim, reinforcing the basket while adding a refined finishing touch that balances the natural texture of the woven palm.

Built for Daily Use

Measuring 42 cm long, 29 cm high, and 16 cm wide, this basket offers ample room for market hauls, weekend errands, or beach essentials. The palm leaf construction is naturally breathable and surprisingly strong, while the leather handles distribute weight comfortably across your arm. The structured shape holds its form even when empty, making it as practical as it is beautiful.
