This lightweight basket (picnic basket) would be so perfect for when we're scouring markets this summer in Prague. It's compact and light which is perfect for travelling, it's reusable, and I love the different designs. It's comfy, smart, and compact. What else could you want?

Good for the environment since you can use it in place of disposable grocery bags. Cushy foam handle rests comfortably on forearm. Lightweight aluminum frame; nylon basket; zipped interior pocket. Packs flat for storage.

Love it, and must acquire one! I do a lot of shoppoing through the Oklahoma City Food Cooperative and farmers markets. This will definately help me getting my stuff back and forth!!! Surprisingly inexpensive for as lovely as it is! (via thedelicious)

Exactly perfect for stashing, collapsed, in my laptop bag until I pop it out on Wednesday mornings to run over to the Santa Monica Farmers' Market! The European Market Tote is also easy to clean.

So much better than the "I'm Not a Plastic Bag" bag. Cute, green, and collapsible! I love the baroque patterned one.

Cool Market Tote - Good for the Environment and good for you!

Ooohhh! How I love shopping with a basket - it's so european and chic! And I can pretend I'm on my way to grandma's house in my red hooded cape! Environmentally friendly AND cute!
