La Sculpture XS
The smallest basket in the family - and yet it swallows it all: phone, notebook, sunglasses, a scarf, your whole day's essentials. Raffia and banana leaf, nothing but what the earth gave.
- Raffia and banana leaf only - no leather. Handles built on a hand-bent wire core sheathed in raffia, which you can reshape at will; interior with a Jawhara-lined pouch and raffia pompoms. In Hot Red, Deep Violet or Black Olive.
- The La Sculpture signature is the handle: a wire core bent by hand then sheathed in raffia, curved however you like, over a tight, sun-warm banana-leaf weave.
- All made by hand by Fatima and her team in Guéliz - between 35 and 85 hours depending on the piece, from bending the handles to the last check.
- The smallest size - a mini basket by hand or on a short shoulder strap. Dimensions: 36 × 22 × 11 cm.
- Very limited edition - handmade in runs of 15 per size and colour, for as long as the series runs, with no guaranteed restock.
Description
Small enough to sit in the palm, and far roomier than you'd think. Here it's raffia and banana leaf only - not a gram of leather, nothing but what the earth gave, shaped by hand. The handles hide a wire core that Fatima bends by hand before wrapping it in raffia, the way a sculptor works the metal before laying on the clay: you can curve them, reposition them as you like. The shapes echo the arches of the medina doors, the winding line of the alleys; the colours, those of old Moroccan doors - red, black, purple. Inside, a Jawhara-lined pouch dotted with raffia pompoms. Phone, card holder, keys, sunglasses, a small scarf: it all finds a place, close it and leave hands free. No two handles are ever quite alike, and no two baskets either.
The smallest size - a mini basket by hand or on a short shoulder strap. Dimensions: 36 × 22 × 11 cm.
All made by hand by Fatima and her team in Guéliz - between 35 and 85 hours depending on the piece, from bending the handles to the last check.
Dust gently with a dry brush. If caught in the rain, air-dry flat: the leather or raffia colour may dull slightly, but the bag stays in great shape. Avoid prolonged direct sun - the fibre can dry out and colours may fade or yellow. Built to travel: solid and shape-retaining for years, no stuffing needed. The handles are mounted on wire: bend and reposition them whenever you like.
Packaging : Minimal YZA packaging, ready for gifting or studio pickup.
