Customer Reviews (3.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Sofia D. ★★★★★

The weave on this sisal tote is tight and sturdy, and you can tell it's genuinely handmade from natural agave fiber. Took it to the farmers market and it held a full load of apples and a squash without sagging.

Zoe A. ★★★★☆

Took it to the farmers market and it held a surprising amount — three squash, a jar of honey, and a loaf of bread with room to spare. The tan color hides dirt well, though the handles are a touch stiff and dig in when it's loaded heavy. Solid everyday basket, just break it in first.

Elizabeth ★★★★☆

The weave on this sisal tote is genuinely tight and even, you can tell it's hand-done. It holds my daily stuff fine and the natural tan goes with everything. Only thing is it's a bit stiff right out of the box, hoping it softens with use.
