This basket has a gently rounded shape that gives it a charming, soft appearance.
It is woven 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 entire basket is woven in a simple technique, passing each vertical strip under and over in turn.From about halfway up the basket, the weaving pitch is changed, creating a slight variation in the pattern that adds visual interest and keeps the design from feeling monotonous.The willow branches are not split; each strip is used at its natural thickness and woven neatly, one by one. In the lower half of the basket, strips with bark are mixed into the weave, creating a shift in texture and a gentle gradation in color. The subtle combination of materials gives the basket a refined, well-balanced appearance.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. It is woven with barked willow, which adds a distinctive accent to the overall design.The base is woven tightly, using a traditional, durable construction commonly seen in European willow work.The base is also beautifully shaped into a clean, circular 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. (The photo above shows the “Oval Basket with Handle “Rounded Shape” – Bark Finish.”)
Its tall, slender silhouette makes it a convenient size for outings by train or bus. Depending on the season, placing a cloth or handkerchief over the top as a cover is also recommended.It also works well as a basket for everyday groceries or bread. Unlike soft bags, the items inside stay in place, making it suitable for carrying delicate foods. Thanks to its tall height, it is also convenient for bringing home or storing bottles of beverages or wine.
While it certainly works well as a carrying basket, it also makes a lovely interior piece when filled with dried flowers. Its tall form highlights flowers beautifully when arranged inside.
The vertical silhouette gives the basket a clean, refined look, and many people find it easy to handle and maneuver.
This tall basket is not only useful for parks and nature outings but also for strolling around town. We hope it becomes a pleasant part of your everyday life.
