Retro-Travel Tote

Named after the family restaurant in Maine (now home to our studio), these colors are inspired by the wood paneling and booth colors of a youth spent with 10-cent chocolate milk and Marion's homemade muffins.

This fun, but practical basket is a sartorial alternative to a canvas tote.  The perfect size, and oh so lightweight construction make it a handsome everyday carry-all, picnic basket, or carry-on for jet-setting. The closed bottom and wrapped side handles make the Retro-Travel Tote an easy choice for a gift or an elevated home storage item when not in use. 

Artisan Made: Designed and handcrafted by Erin and Peggy Pollard and a small team of weavers in Maine and New York.

Materials: 100% Rattan Core, an abundant Climbing Palm grown in South East Asia and sourced through local longtime partners.

Color: We use non-toxic, organic natural dyes and finishes approved by the consumer Product Safety Commission. Each piece is finished in our Maine Studio. Enjoy natural color variations from the plant fibers. 

Dimensions: Approximately 12"L x 6"W x 12"H

Care: For indoor use. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Rattan is a natural and flexible plant fiber. If misshapen during use, firmly mold back into place.

Note: Due to the freehand nature of our practice, each basket is one-of-a-kind and may have slight variations in shape and size. We do not use molds - each piece holds the spirit of the maker.
