Hogla Chatai round foraging basket
£38.00
Hogla is a kind of seagrass and it’s often used for weaving in Bangladesh, where this basket was made.
This basket is light and easy to carry (the 50cm drop between the top of the handle and the top of the basket means you still have room for your hand when it’s full), so it’s great for shopping and for foraging. But it also looks pretty good as a storage solution.

We’re impressed by the durability of this basket and by the versatility. And we’re always looking for storage solutions, so that’s a win.
