A good straw basket is a year-round accessory, but a gorgeous monogrammed basket is a classic summer essential. Embroidering monograms on baskets of all shapes, textures and sizes has been our specialty for years.We have a few classic basket styles that have proven timeless, but we love to work with the artisans who make them for us to design new and exciting styles. We are always tweaking our designs to enhance their features, and always on the lookout for new plant fibres to make our gorgeous baskets.This season, we are completely obsessed with raffia. It is lightweight yet strong and durable. This incredible textile orginates from the raffia palm, grown in Madagascar and harvested by hand. Unlike your regular straw fibres, raffia contains a natural resin that makes it pliable and water-resistant. To put it simply, it is perfect for crocheting and weaving in to bags and baskets.Take a look at our newest basket styles and consider the countless reasons why you shouldn’t be without a monogrammed straw basket this summer.The Rye Raffia Tote is roomy enough to easily hold a laptop and notepads. Even if you’re only carrying your sunglasses and romantic read of the summer, our reliable tote will keep its shape with ease.Our new Scilly Shoulder Basket has an interior lining with one zipped pocket for your valuables and three open pockets for your suncream, your hand fan and any other daily essentials as we settle further into the warmest days of the year.For the indecisive or flexible amongst us, our Double Strap Basket gives you the option to have your handles short or long depending on your personal needs. You could swing your chic new accessory right over your wrist or your shoulder and then back again.
