Folk Fleur Hand Basket
Designed in collaboration with Underwater Weaving, this hand basket is a provision for anyone likely to pop by the market with the posh, newspaper-wrapped cheese. Crafted from smoked and chocolate-toned rattan with a small red detail woven through the weave, it has the particular charm of old utility baskets once used for errands, low stakes foraging, or transporting slices of cake to somebody else’s garden.
Dimensions: 13L x 8W x 4D in Handle 8in ; 33L x 20.3W x 10D cm Handle 20.3cm
Material: Woven from mature rattan sourced from Indonesia
Care: For indoor use. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Rattan is a natural and flexible plant fiber. If misshapen during use, firmly mold back into place.
About the Maker
Founded by designer Erin Pollard and based between New York and Maine, Underwater Weaving Studio creates handwoven basketware that balances sculptural form with everyday utility. Each piece is made by hand in Maine using traditional weaving techniques and natural materials, embracing the irregular textures and subtle variations that come from true craftsmanship. Pollard’s work draws from historic basketry traditions while giving them a distinctly contemporary sensibility — tactile, functional, and expressive.
