To personalise your basket and co-ordinate with the rest of your system we suggest you choose your own bands of coloured cane and we can even colour match your safety handles at a small additional cost.

The trimming of English grain smooth leather or suede are standard features of a Lindstrand basket and adds a distinctive finish.
