This rattan picnic and shopping basket carries your picnic lunch, market shopping or a gift hamper in classic style, with a red and white gingham cloth lining trimmed in lace. The brown rattan weave is sturdy, with twin carry handles that fold down, and the basket measures about 40cm, roomy enough for sandwiches, fruit, a flask of chai and a few plates. Take it to Karura Forest, the Arboretum or a beach day in Mombasa, use it for fresh vegetables and bread at the weekend market, or fill it with treats as a beautiful Christmas, Easter or baby-shower hamper. At home it doubles as a bread basket on the table, a fruit basket on the counter or tidy storage for napkins, toys or yarn. The lining keeps crumbs contained and makes it easy to clean, while the woven body looks charming wherever you set it down.

Buying guide
Think about what you will carry most. For a picnic for two to four, a 40cm basket holds food, drinks and plates comfortably; for heavy shopping, keep the weight below what you can carry easily by the handles. Put heavier items such as bottles and flasks at the bottom and lighter things on top. Shake out crumbs after each use and spot-clean the cloth lining with a damp cloth and mild soap; let it dry fully before storing to avoid mildew. Wipe the rattan with a damp cloth and keep the basket out of prolonged rain and harsh sun so the weave stays strong and the colour stays rich.
How it compares
Compared with a plastic shopping bag or cool box, a lined rattan basket looks far more attractive, holds its shape so food does not get squashed, and doubles as home décor. It does not keep food cold like an insulated cooler, so pair it with an ice pack or flask for hot days.
