Werlissa wicker shopping basket with blue trim and handles TheWickerStories

An elegant wicker basket with an elongated oval shape draws attention with its even, tight weave and carefully finished rim. It features two sturdy, comfortable handles that sit well in the hand and make carrying groceries easy. The whole piece is kept in a natural color, adding a sense of lightness and freshness. Decorative bows add charm and subtle elegance. The interior is finished with a neatly fitted soft fabric lining that hides the edges and highlights the basket’s aesthetic look. Dimensions: 42x20 H:25/34 (cm).

For weaving we use only natural willow from European plantations, selected for flexibility and durability. Each item is handmade, so it is unique and resistant to everyday use. The basket was made in the EU according to Polish weaving traditions listed on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. It’s an eco-friendly choice built to last.

For everyday use it works as a shopping basket: it comfortably fits bread, vegetables and small market finds, and the two handles make it easy to carry even when full. A stable base and tight weave protect the contents, while the lightweight construction won’t tire your hands. The lining can be easily removed and machine washed at 30°C, helping keep it fresh and clean.

It’s also a practical picnic and beach basket. You can easily take a blanket, snacks, drinks and accessories for a walk, to the park or to the water. On summer trips it can serve as a stylish bag — ideal for the beach, a summer stroll or shopping in a seaside town. Thanks to the roomy interior you can pack all essentials, and the natural look perfectly complements summer outfits. Unlike popular materials such as rattan, reed, cane, straw, water hyacinth or bamboo, our products are made from authentic Polish willow — natural, durable and prized for its quality and timeless character.
