Featuring innovative German design, Reisenthel Market Baskets were an instant hit with our staff. Used all over Europe, its shape & size is ideal for the local farmers market and makes it a cinch to say no to the plastic bags usually handed out. Lightweight aluminum frame and polyester covering are durable and easy to clean. Collapses down for storage. Thick rubber-grip handle, rigid bottom & protective feet are built for use over & over. Inner zippered pocket for wallet, cell phone, keys & lists.
About the same size as a plastic grocery store basket, Market Baskets are also great for smaller grocery loads, picnics, gardening and even as storage containers. Wide & comfy rubber-grip handle can be carried by hand or over forearm. Like all Reisenthel products it is very high quality (this is the original - avoid cheap knockoffs!)
