The Most Fashionable Grocery Getter on the Block
Written by Urban Sherp on June 13th, 2008
Who: Marie-Louise Gustafsson – Design House
What: Carrie Bike Basket
Where: Design House
Why: I have complete basket envy over this adorable basket. Highly stylish, ornate and yet oh so quaint. The basket would be the perfect companion for the Manhattan Cruiser I have been pining for, sadly it would look completely out of place on my beat up mountain bike….. But can’t you just picture yourself riding down the boardwalk, sundress flowing behind you with your beach towel and a great read tucked in your basket?
And so where is the ‘green’? This basket allows you to run some extra errands that might otherwise require a motor vehicle and your bike runs on alternative energy……yours.
Available in black, green or white as a carrying basket or as a bike basket, both with handy straps all from the incredibly creative mind of Marie-Louise Gustafsson (who also came up with the rather odd yet quite clever Mobile Bathtub) for Design House Stockholm .

this is a great basket. i received it as a gift filled with lots of great food finds from a friend. i loved the idea so much that i now feature it on my site as the “weekend gift basket” the perfect gift to give when visiting family and friends on holiday.
