Every now and then I wish I could escape from my everyday. So today I decided to do just that, no not run away (although the thought did cross my mind) but instead I bought the ultimate recyclable shopping bag to do my fruit and veg shopping. A Moroccan cane shopping bag with leather straps and it made me feel great! I could day dream I was in some Parisian street with the fruit and veg and the french stick, sticking out ahhh …. if only.

Anyway back to reality – I have given this bag a serious work out and love it. I have used it to carry all the goodies for a picnic for 5 and lugging it quite a distance to get there. I have taken all the paraphernalia for 5 to go to the beach and carried it all day and other than being heavy it was quite comfy to carry.  The leather straps didn’t dig in and I had no concern of the handles falling off  because they are stitched on.  Compared to the blue no brand shopping bags (that we all have a drawer load full of) that I usually take for these outings, I felt much less like a pack horse and more like I groovy mum… Here’s to the versatile, looking good Moroccan woven basket.

And yes they are available now at HOME SAVVY for just $39.95
