Somerset Basket Set White

The Somerset baskets arrive as a pair, each one anchored by a leather handle that darkens with use, creating a subtle contrast against the pale natural fiber. Water hyacinth weaves tightly enough to hold shape yet loosely enough to breathe. The open weave reads differently depending on light and angle. Morning sun catches the texture; evening renders it as shadow and form. This quality makes the baskets work equally well tucked under a console or displayed on open shelving, where the woven pattern becomes part of the visual rhythm of a room. Proportioned for the spaces where storage matters most—a bathroom corner, the base of a closet shelf, a child's room—they hold what needs holding without demanding attention.

The leather handles are substantial enough to carry weight, refined enough to feel intentional rather than purely functional. Pigeon and Poodle constructs these by hand, which means each basket carries the minor variations that come from craft. A slight irregularity in the weave, a difference in how the leather has been worked—these are marks of making, not flaws.

Over time, the water hyacinth softens further, and the leather develops a patina that speaks to the piece's durability. The set of two allows for pairing or separation, depending on how a space evolves. They work as a unit or independently, which is the mark of thoughtful design.

*This item is handcrafted and may show slight variation from one piece to another. Sold as a set of 2.
