If you, like me, love the handwoven plastic market baskets made in Guatemala, but a buying trip isn’t (yet) on your schedule, check out the website for La Canasta (“canasta” means basket in Spanish). I met co-founder Alexandra in Antigua, Guatemala this summer—she’s also an adoptive mom—and was delighted to learn she’s as besotted with these beautiful and useful works of art as I am.
These baskets are multipurpose: purse, beach bag, book bag, diaper bag, briefcase. I carry my tap shoes in one. And they’re virtually indestructible, washable with soap and water. Scrolling through the La Canasta inventory, I must remind myself “I don’t need another basket!”
(Or do I?????)
