One strictly for the traditional sit-up-and-beg and cruiser set, this is a classic wicker basket that will set off your Pashley Princess perfectly.

Woven from high quality wicker, in a traditional style, this is a surprisingly lightweight (1032g) basket, given its ample size (48cm long x 32cm wide x 23cm deep). It hooks easily over the front bar with two plastic coated sturdy wire hooks and sits pretty stable. There’s also a handle, attached securely with wire staples, that sits flush with the basket when not in use.

The major bonus of the simple hook over design is that it’s easily removed and used as a shopping basket whenever needed. The wire hooks aren’t a problem as long as you remember which side they’re on!

Verdict

A useful and well crafted traditional style wicker front basket.
