French HandicraftsIts rounded silhouette evokes the baskets of days gone by—the kind tucked under one’s arm to gather eggs, pick a few flowers, or bring home groceries from the market. Light yet sturdy, it complements the simple gestures of daily life and lends a quiet charm to a table, a shelf, or a kitchen.
The Cocotte basket is woven in Brittany by basketmaker Michel Le Guilcher. A former shoemaker, he turned to willow after first learning to grow it himself. Today, he grows several varieties, harvesting, sorting, soaking, and stripping them before patiently weaving each basket by hand—bringing it to life through a process that begins in the field and ends in the workshop.
The models depend on the harvest and the varieties available. We have received a limited quantity of this one. Once it sells out, we'll have to wait for the next season.
