Full Moon Handbag Basket

The Full Moon Basket was designed to function like a handbag with it’s large, beautiful, full moon handles, and a deep, spacious interior. It’s incredibly lightweight, despite the durability of the materials used to make it, making it a perfect bag to fill with all the things. I hand split the frame from white oak and wove it with ash weavers.

About the material:
I mindfully hand-select each White Oak tree from my land in the Catskill Mountains in New York State, then carefully split each log by hand using only an axe and a knife to create thin, pliable strips. This Lost Art comes from the Appalachian tradition, with it’s origins in Cumbrian spelk basketry. This is a one-of-a-kind piece takes approximately 28 hours to painstakingly make by hand.
