FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of the basket?

Is the lining removable for cleaning?

What material is the basket made from?
The basket is crafted from high-quality buff willow, with dark brown leather hinges and a cotton lining.
Is this basket suitable for carrying hot food?
While it can carry food, it is not insulated. For hot food, consider using insulated containers within the basket. It is best suited for room temperature or chilled items.
Can I put the basket in the dishwasher?
No, the willow exterior should never be placed in a dishwasher. Only the removable cotton lining can be washed, preferably by hand or on a gentle machine cycle.
Are the colors and finish consistent?
As this is a natural product, colors and finishes can vary slightly from batch to batch and may differ from the product images.
Is the willow sustainably sourced?
Yes, the basket is manufactured from sustainable materials.
Troubleshooting
Basket smells musty
Ensure the basket is completely dry before storing. Air it out in a well-ventilated area, preferably in sunlight for a short period. Make sure the lining is also dry.
Leather hinges feel stiff
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner to the hinges. Wipe off any excess. Repeat if necessary after the first application has dried.
Minor scuffs on willow
Light scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper marks, a very light application of natural wood polish might be used cautiously, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Lining has a stain
Remove the lining and treat the stain according to the fabric care instructions for cotton. Machine wash or hand wash as needed and ensure it is fully dry before replacing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The basket arrives fully assembled and ready for use. Simply unpack and it's ready to be filled.
Compatibility: This basket is designed for general picnic use and is compatible with a wide range of food and drink items. It is not designed for carrying extremely heavy or sharp objects that could damage the natural willow or lining.
Care:
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior willow with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the willow, as this can damage the material. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Lining Cleaning: The cotton lining is removable. Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Allow the lining to air dry completely before reinserting.
- Hinge Care: The leather hinges can be maintained with a standard leather conditioner if they appear dry, though this is typically only needed infrequently.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture to prevent mold or warping.
