An unlined basket is a bag. A basket lined in red satin, with three crocheted hearts on the front and leather handles, is a gift object — something you hand to someone with things inside it, and something they keep afterwards and put things back into.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThen look at the handle tabs, because they're the part most people miss. They're cut as hearts. Not squares, not rounds — heart-shaped leather, saddle-stitched in white thread and set with a brass rivet. Somebody took the motif on the front and repeated it in the hardware. That's a design decision, and it's the thing that separates a decorated basket from a designed one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe hearts themselves are crocheted in chunky red wool, one at a time, and stitched on by hand. They're not identical — one sits a little fuller, another leans slightly. Anyone who has crocheted a heart knows they come out with their own character however carefully you count the stitches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe basket underneath is woven from natural reed in a tight vertical structure, and it's built square rather than tapered, with a flat base. \u003cstrong\u003eIt stands up on its own and holds its shape when it's empty\u003c\/strong\u003e — which sounds minor until you've tried to fill a basket that collapses inward every time you let go of it. Filled with chocolates, candles, bath things or flowers, it sits open and presentable on a table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe handles are rolled cognac leather, long enough to carry comfortably, and they'll darken with handling the way leather does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe reason we like it as a gift:\u003c\/strong\u003e what happens on the 15th of February. Flowers die, chocolates get eaten. This is still there — a proper basket with leather handles, lined in red, holding whatever it holds next. Shopping, bread, toys, magazines. A gift that survives its occasion is a better gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThree sizes\u003c\/strong\u003e, so choose by what you'll put in it: small to fill as a gift; medium as a gift and then an everyday basket; large for a substantial hamper or a real market basket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWoven and crocheted entirely by hand in Marrakech.

If it gets wet, air dry naturally away from direct heat. Dust the reed with a dry brush. Spot clean the wool hearts and the lining gently with a barely damp cloth — do not soak, as red dyes are the most likely of any colour to run onto pale fibre. Condition the leather handles with a neutral balm once a year.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA note on wool:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chunky wool can pill or catch slightly with heavy handling.
