A French straw market tote bag is one of those French clich\u00e9s<\/a> that French people do<\/em> actually use. Seriously, the next time you find yourself at a French farmer\u2019s market in Paris, take a look around. I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll see at least one French person holding one! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These straw baskets are easy to spot. They have horizontal layers of woven straw wrapped to form a tote bag that stands about one foot tall. The sides of the bag go outwards at an angle so the top is wider than the base. Two long brown leather shoulder straps are attached to each side of the bag. Some bags also have two short leather handles so the bag can be carried by hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The French market basket is used by both men and women, but outside of southern Europe, it\u2019s mostly women who carry this beautiful straw tote. Straw basket bags are beloved by many Mediterranean residents, and people in Italy and Spain love them just as much as the French.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
