This is a generously sized basket with soft, rounded curves.
It is crafted from peeled willow—strips made by removing the outer bark of the branch.
The peeled willow sourced from Lithuania is known for its gentle, pale color. Under natural light, it reflects a bright yet soft glow, giving the basket a warm and delicate character.
The lower part of the basket is woven in a simple technique, passing each vertical strip under and over in turn. By changing the weaving pitch halfway up, the appearance shifts toward the upper section, creating a pleasant visual variation.From the side or from above, the basket shows a softly rounded, gently voluminous shape.The willow branches are not split; each strip is used at its natural thickness and woven in precise, even strokes, one by one.The handle is made by using a thick willow branch as the core and wrapping thinner willow strips around it. It feels gentle in the hand, and the structure is stable with almost no wobble when carried.The rim is finished with a braided trim, giving the basket a touch of European character.The base is woven tightly, using a traditional, durable construction commonly seen in European willow work.The base has a clean, beautifully shaped oval form.At times, you may notice slight splits, cracks, or small protrusions in the wicker, as shown in the photo. These are natural characteristics of the material and not considered defects. We kindly ask for your understanding. (Photo shown is from Polish willow work.)
Many people may associate baskets with spring and summer, but those made in colder countries like Lithuania also pair beautifully with autumn and winter outfits. For example, you can take it out with a warm stole or muffler for a seasonal outing.
It is large enough to cover the upper body of an adult woman, yet the basket remains light, making it easy to carry despite its size. You can place your family’s lunch boxes and water bottles inside and take it with you to a park or any pleasant outdoor spot.It can also be used as a shopping basket for daily groceries or for carrying bread and other foods. Its capacity is generous—imagine enough ingredients for a family of four to last two to three days. Because it is firmly and sturdily constructed, it is also suitable for everyday use or for carrying a full set of work tools.
While it certainly works well as a carrying basket, its generous size also makes it suitable for storing small items or fabrics in the living room. You could even arrange dried flowers inside, which would create a lovely atmosphere.
The braided rim, the gentle presence of the form, and its pale, soft color allow it to blend naturally into an interior setting.
It can also serve as a portable magazine basket. Please enjoy this large basket in whatever way suits your lifestyle.
