An original vintage French fisherman's basket, the height of 1970s chic, popularised by Jane Birkin. This beautiful basket is near identical to the original Birkin basket and dates from the period.

Generous enough for shopping, yet convenient, the basket has a rigid form with generous handle.

The syle of weave and the swoop of handle are exactly the form of the original Birkin basket. This is slightly deeper than Jane Birkin's own basket. There is no lid on this basket but it is deep enough to retain contents well.

Made of super sturdy split cane. There is some wear to the base. Still, this was built to last and it has many pleasurable years of use ahead of it. Fit's all the essentials: wine, baguette, fruit and vegetables. Perfect for farmer's market shopping and day use alike. Relive the relaxed chic of early 1970s Paris and swan through your day.

MEASURES:

53cm H x 32cm diameter

CONDITION:

Wear consistent with age and use. Minor structural damages. The basket is sturdy and strong. The base has seen some wear and tear. It is still beautifully functional. Some worn cane to the base, unobtrusive.
