The history of the rustic basket dates back to the 19th century, during the reign of Napoleon III, when it became an essential fashion accessory among the Parisian bourgeoisie. During the golden age of open-air dance halls and picnics, it gradually became more widespread, evolving into a staple of Sunday outings. Woven from wicker using traditional basketry techniques, it embodies a practical craft that has now become a true part of our artisanal heritage.
Since everything is handmade, all our items are one-of-a-kind, even those produced in small batches. At La Maison de Commerce, you’ll never find two identical items—especially not the one in the photo and the one you’ll receive. This guarantees its authenticity, its beauty, and a few irregularities inherent to its craftsmanship by the finest artisans in France and Europe. All our items come with a certificate of authenticity issued by La Maison de Commerce.
