Showcasing the beautiful natural tones of willow, this Ose Purse is a new basket designed by Sarah.
Contemporary interpretation of a classic heritage basket, a striking contrast of natural bark colours on the outside with the purity of willow’s inner white bark in the purse’s interior. Achieved through the endangered, advanced technique of basketry skein work, each willow rod is split then meticulously shaved into fine long ribbons. Each skein is then wrapped around highly prized local Somerset Levels white willow.
Designed for it’s neat size and shape, perfect for holding handbag essentials.
Traditionally known as an Ose, Gathering, Hen or Skye basket, and documented across Europe since Medieval times, this type of frame basket involves weaving willow skeins around a series of hoops and ribs.
Please note that due to willow varieties varying in shade, each Ose Purse is unique in colouration and can range from greys, blues and purples to orange and brown. If you have a preference for a particular tonal range please state when purchasing.
