These baskets are darling! The material is a heavy duty cotton. It’s nice and thick. The color is just slightly off-white. It hold its shape well, but I wish it would stand upright on its own. The leather seems like it’s a pretty good quality, and the bindings seem pretty secure. I haven’t decided exactly what I want to put inside of them. Maybe some dried flowers Overall, these baskets are adorable and soften up the aesthetic in my home.
