Large Wicker Storage Basket 75cm | The Harrowgate

There's something deeply satisfying about a basket that's built to last generations. This piece comes from a small workshop where craftspeople still weave willow by hand, using techniques passed down through families who've worked with this material for decades.

The light steaming process brings out the natural honey tones in the willow while keeping the fibres supple and strong. It's a slower method than industrial treatments, but it creates a basket that ages beautifully rather than simply wearing out. The rope handles are positioned exactly where your hands naturally fall when you lift—a detail you only get when someone who actually uses these baskets is involved in designing them.

This isn't about rustic charm for its own sake. It's about choosing storage that works quietly and reliably in the background of your home, holding towels after Sunday baths, corralling children's toys before bedtime, or keeping spare blankets within reach on cold evenings. The kind of piece that becomes part of your home's rhythm rather than just its decoration.
