I love this -- I'm generally amorous towards all things Reisenthel -- and it's just fun to use. Get the basket cover (sold separately at Garnet Hill) -- I like being able to protect the contents from rain or whatever ...

This basket is so awesome! It is about the same size as a basket you would use at the supermarket. First of all, I love that I'm brining my own basket and not using plastic bags. Second, this is so convenient, you shop and put your things in the basket, checkout and put them back in the same easy hand held basket. So much better than bags. And, this basket will fold flat!

easy to carry and very handy to keep around.... i love the one i have.
