Basket

In Lithuania, basket-making has always been essential —
for harvesting, foraging, carrying wood.
A sturdy companion for every corner of daily life.

In Lithuanian, there is a verb — "pinti" — meaning "to weave a basket." It speaks to how basket-making was once an essential part of daily life. Lithuanian baskets are sturdy, working baskets, used primarily for harvesting; indispensable when heading into the forest to forage for mushrooms or gather herbs. They carry firewood, hold yarn, and find their way into every corner of life. Filling a freshly bought basket with finds from the folk art market is the local way. Basket in hand, the market crawl begins.
