Banded Shopper: Stripe Boldly, Shop Bravely

Bold Weave, Bold Impact

This classic Banded Shopper is proudly part of our Blessing Basket Collection, a curated line featuring some of the most beloved and enduring items we've offered over the years. As a tribute to our roots as The Blessing Basket Project®, this collection celebrates the tradition of artisan-crafted excellence.

This sustainable shopper is crafted from mahampy, by artisans in Madagascar who choose the colors, patterns, and size of this unique basket. This versatile shopper can double as stylish storage for blankets or magazines by your sofa. When not in use, hang it on a wall hook as functional art, adding rustic elegance to your entryway or mudroom. Every purchase supports the conservation efforts of the Missouri Botanical Garden to protect endangered flora and fauna by encouraging sustainable livelihoods outside the forest and empowering the artisans' communities.

Carry & Show Off

• Market Powerhouse – Load produce, baguettes, and blooms; tight weave resists stretching even when full.
• Pool & Picnic Buddy – Towels, sunscreen, and a novel fit easily; sand or crumbs shake out with a quick flick.
• Décor Accent – Off-season, park beside an entry bench to corral blankets or magazines; the stripes add instant color pop.

PRODUCT CARE

• Shape Refresh – Mist lightly with warm water, mold by hand, air-dry.
• Cleaning – Shake out crumbs; spot-clean straw with a damp cloth, avoid soaking leather.
• Sunlight – Rotate occasionally—extended direct sun may mellow bright dyes.
• Leather – Condition handles with clear balm to maintain suppleness.

ARTISAN NOTES: Stripe order, dye depth, and leather shade vary slightly by maker, making every Banded Shopper one of a kind. Prefer a dominant hue or specific size? Email support@tenbythree.org and we’ll match you with the closest style.
