This cool basket is hand woven out of water reeds and is trimmed with black leather. It is a size large, but doesn't feel overwhelming because it tapers at the base. It measures about 17.5" across the top, 13" from top to bottom, and 6.5" from front to back. The handles are flat, braided leather and are slightly longer than average (80 cm) and fit over the shoulder. I love this basket!
