A wonderfully kitsch collection of authentic mid‑century woven plastic baskets, each sourced individually and full of that unmistakable 1950s–60s charm.

Sold individually within one listing. Simply choose your favourite from the drop down menu or create the perfect retro diner with all four 😀

Their cheerful colours, unusual woven construction and nostalgic centre motifs make them perfect for retro kitchens, wall displays, trinket storage, or adding a playful pop of mid‑century character to your home.
