French Market Bags

The bag that goes everywhere.

Hand woven from strips of fallen palm fronds using traditional methods, each French Market Bag is completely unique. Lightweight, strong, and genuinely beautiful, these are the bags you reach for every single day.

Take them to the farmers market, beach, supermarket, picnics. The larger sizes work just as well as a weekend bag or a washing basket. Use the smaller sizes to store onions and potatoes in the pantry, kids toys, or knitting.

Available in five sizes:

* The Orleanais - Baby
* The Lyonnais - Small
* The Marseillais - Medium
* The New Yorker - Medium with double handle
* The Parisian - Large

The Marseillais French Market Bag is a great size, not to big or to small, and love the double handles, thanks!

French Market Bags

These have been tucked away for future birthday presents for our girls. We just know they are going to love them and use them for a variety of activities because they are gorgeous and practical. We only intended purchasing 1 laundry basket but ended up buying 3 as well as a large round basket and 2 market bags. Really impressed with the quality and workmanship of all the items we purchased and we see these as an investment rather than an expense.

Excellent service

I saw that basket online and loved that it had two handles and was versatile. I bought it for a birthday present for my best friend and she loved it, carries it everywhere and suits her personality. It arrived the next day and it liked how I received updated emails all the way through the process. Will definitely be buying other things from you.

So glad I found this bag, fits everything you need for trips to the beach or summer getaways. The straps are sturdy which can be hard to find with these kinds of bags. Totally recommend!

So handy

Love love love our market bag! Often the handles are sharp or rigid and dig into you but the soft straps made for easy carrying. The bag itself is so well made and cannot wait for our next market visit.
