Since I was a little girl I have always loved baskets, especially picnic baskets. I would fill my little basket with my mini tea set, some cookies, and raspberries or tomatoes picked from the garden and carry it with me to a spot in the yard or by the lake I grew up on. As an adult I still love a great basket and a picnic too. I was often teased for it, but now baskets have been very trendy these past couple of years and I get compliments on my modest basket collection all of the time. You will not see me at the store without my favorite market basket or out and about in spring without a basket bag. Even my bicycle has a basket!
The best part about baskets is that they can last a lifetime if properly cared for and a well made basket is timeless. I have rounded up my favorite baskets found on Etsy for all sorts of purposes and occasions. I like finding my baskets on Etsy because it supports small businesses and communities.
Etsy has been one of my favorite ways to find baskets for years. I made a favorites list called “baskets” on my Etsy page, but I have conveniently link my favorite basket bags from Etsy shops in the links below. Simply click on the photograph to bring you to the Etsy page. All product photos in this post belong to the sellers. This is the exact basket that I am pictured with above:
The “Birkin basket” is very popular this year and since Jane Birkin made these round little baskets popular in the 1970s they have come back into style ever since.
