Add a little French romance to your shopping!

Forget plastic bags, forget green bags, French market baskets have hit our shores and they're making shopping a little romantic again!

Imagine you are in Paris strolling down the Rue Montorgueil shopping at your favourite food stores. You load up your French market basket with your favourite cheese, a freshly baked baguette, organic strawberries, a lovely bottle of red and of course, your favourite flowers. Thanks to The Market Basket Company you no longer have to travel the globe to feel a little French.

These baskets are not only seriously gorgeous, they are extremely functional and practical and environmentally beneficial too.

The Market Basket Company baskets are made to an extremely high quality. Each one is hand made using traditional methods, so no two are exactly alike. They are made from strips of woven palm leaves. These strips are sewn together and the basket built up in 'rounds' into the traditional triangle shape. Genuine Moroccon leather is used to make the handles, which are firmly fixed to the basket. They are available in both elbow length straps or longer shoulder length straps.

"Customers tell me they become very attached to these baskets," importer, Lindy McLeod, explains, "they buy one, fall in love with it and its many uses, and end up buying a few more. They've even become the gift of choice for many converts!"

Lindy first fell in love with these baskets when she was living in Europe ten years ago. Lindy admired the Parisian women heading home with their fruit, bread, meats and cheeses brimming from their seriously chic shopping baskets. After buying a few herself she realised as well as looking great, they were extremely hard wearing and very strong. After returning home Lindy saw how many plastic bags Australians were using and decided to share her beloved baskets with her fellow Australians.

Extremely versatile, your Market Basket Company baskets can be used to carry your picnic, your beach gear or evey your gym gear. New mums will be able to load all sorts of baby necessitites in these baskets.

Order yours today. We can't promise a tall, handsome man named Pierre or Jacques will whisk you away, but we're sure you'll feel a little more French none the less!
