As we transition away from single-use plastic bags, baskets are a great alternative. A well-made market basket will last for years. It’s practical, stylish, and sure to be a conversation starter with other shoppers.
Fair Trade African “Bolga” baskets are durable and can stand up to the weight of cans and bottled items. Many grocery stores sell them. Domestic-made artisan market baskets and totes — available from the makers and often at vendor fairs — are perfect for shopping the farmers markets around town.
