Baskets // Toino Abel

Toino Label stands for 100% handmade baskets. I discovered the brand’s shop on Etsy and I am smitten with its beyond beautiful products. Toino Label is a small family business from Portugal and the baskets are being handcrafted in the same traditional technique for many generations.

Sometimes I am sad because I know that the craft of making baskets is coming to an end. When this last generation of old workers dies it might be the end of the Portuguese reed basket tradition. But before this happens I would like to share and cherish this beautiful part of my culture heritage with you.

Yours Sincerely,

Nuno Henriques, Toino Label

No doubt I am going to order some of these baskets. Let me add that the prices are really reasonable as well. So you should make sure to check out their online-shop here.
