Nantucket Friendship Purses

Totes:

Exclusively by Lisa Ahern

Our exclusive Nantucket Basket Totes by Lisa Ahern are a contemporary, fresh take on the traditional baskets. Immensely popular since the early 1990’s, these baskets are crafted with a cherry stave and feature and open top, leather handles, and a drawstring insert, allowing for a bit more room to carry the “essentials”. Each basket can be personalized with a scrimshawed monogram or initials in block or script fonts (all included in the pricing), and translate well on and off of Nantucket Island. Keep in mind we generally have a 12-14 month wait list for these bags due to their overwhelming popularity.
