A quiet companion for market mornings and daily errands, the Abberley brings understated elegance to the ritual of gathering provisions. Handwoven in premium grey kubu rattan, its densely woven construction and reinforced handle recall the charm of traditional shopping baskets — where function and form were chosen with equal care.
Product Story
∨
There's a particular grace to market mornings — the careful selection of provisions, the weight of a basket growing heavier with fresh vegetables and artisan bread, the quiet satisfaction of choosing well. The Abberley honours that tradition.
Handwoven in premium grey kubu rattan using techniques refined over generations, each basket carries the warmth of natural materials and the integrity of skilled craftsmanship. The densely woven construction provides exceptional durability, while the reinforced handle offers secure, ergonomic carrying comfort even when fully loaded.
Whether carried through farmers' markets on Saturday mornings, along village high streets for weekly provisions, or stationed in hallways ready for the next outing, the Abberley becomes part of the rhythm of home — a quiet companion that makes everyday errands feel a little more intentional, a little more connected to the traditions of countryside living.

Frequently Asked Questions
›
What is kubu rattan and why is it grey?
Kubu rattan is a premium natural material that has been treated with a traditional smoking process, giving it its distinctive grey finish. This process also makes the rattan more durable and weather-resistant than untreated rattan, while the grey tone provides a sophisticated, neutral aesthetic that complements any interior style.
How much weight can the Abberley basket hold?
The Abberley is handwoven with densely woven kubu rattan and features a reinforced handle, making it suitable for substantial loads including weekly shopping, heavy vegetables, or home storage items. The ergonomic handle design ensures comfortable carrying even when the basket is fully loaded.
Can this basket be used outdoors or just indoors?
The Abberley is versatile enough for both indoor and outdoor use. The kubu rattan is naturally durable and can withstand outdoor conditions for market trips, garden use, or farmers market shopping. However, we recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to rain or moisture to maintain its longevity.
How do I clean and care for grey kubu rattan?
Simply wipe the basket clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use. Avoid soaking or prolonged moisture exposure. The densely woven construction makes it easy to maintain, and the grey kubu rattan naturally resists staining better than lighter-coloured materials.
What's the difference between this and The Firs grey kubu basket?
Both are handwoven in premium grey kubu rattan, but the Abberley (W42 x D34 x H36cm) offers a different shape and size compared to The Firs. The Abberley features a classic rectangular market basket design with reinforced handle, making it ideal for traditional shopping trips and home organisation.
