Beautiful, built to last, locally made
Blown away by the quality of the basket - clearly well made with UK-sourced materials. The smell of the willow is beautiful. Such a difference from the cheap products we've become accustomed to.
It also looks beautiful and is a unique shape that feels strong and sturdy. Perfect!

Beautiful basket and locally sourced what more can you ask for.
I wanted a Wicker Basket that was made locally, not an inferior product from a large company. I’m delighted with my purchase from John Cowan Baskets, thank you very much.

What a wonderful artisan to have…
What a wonderful artisan to have discovered! My laundry basket is wonderful. Great shape, fantastic size and colour - with a neat little lid nestling on the top. The rim is built in a way that makes it easy to lift and move around. The one I bought 30 years ago is now in the spare room. I hope this is not my last purchase. Treat yourself.
