{"product_id":"the-marjana-basket-leather-strap-moroccan-market-tote","title":"The Marjana Basket — Leather-Strap Moroccan Market Tote","description":"\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMost straw baskets fail in the same place: where the handle meets the rim. The weave takes the whole weight of whatever you've loaded in, the palm splits under it, and one afternoon at the market the handle comes away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis one is built to avoid that entirely. The straps don't stop at the rim — they run the full height of the basket, front and back, anchored by cross-stitched leather patches and carrying on beneath the base. The weight travels down the leather and through the bottom of the bag rather than tearing at the top edge. It's how a proper load-bearing basket is made, it costs more leather, and it's the difference between a basket that lasts a season and one that lasts a decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe rest is deliberately plain. No motif, no embroidery, nothing appliquéd. Just doum palm — the wild palm that grows across Morocco — cut, sun-dried until it pales to straw, split into ribbons and woven by hand in a tight herringbone, with two bands of colour running down it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThat plainness is the point.\u003c\/strong\u003e It's the basket you take to the market on Saturday and the beach on Sunday, that stands by the door holding shoes, that goes in the back of the car and stays there. Decorated baskets belong to an occasion. This one just gets used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe straps are long enough for the shoulder, which matters once it's loaded — most traditional baskets are short-handled hand-carries, and a full market basket in the crook of your elbow gets old fast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeven colours:\u003c\/strong\u003e black, white, blue, orange, pink, red and green. The natural palm stays the same on all of them, so the leather does all the work — and a green-strapped basket reads completely differently from a red one, though it's the same object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThree sizes\u003c\/strong\u003e, so pick by what you'll actually carry: small as a summer bag or a child's basket; medium for beach days and market mornings; large for a real shop, towels for two, or logs by the fireplace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eOpen at the top and unlined — the traditional construction. It airs out after a damp swimsuit instead of staying wet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWoven by hand in Marrakech. Weave density, exact dimensions and the depth of the leather colour vary a little from basket to basket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-woven doum palm straw (natural, undyed) with genuine leather straps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full-length leather straps running the height of the basket and beneath the base, anchored with cross-stitched reinforcement patches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandles:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shoulder-length leather straps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColors:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black, White, Blue, Orange, Pink, Red, Green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Small, Medium, Large \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Open top, unlined — traditional construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandmade:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% handcrafted in Marrakech, Morocco.
