Reed Nook baskets are not extruded plastic with a cane print. Cane is split, soaked, and woven over a timber mould in Kwun Tong.

The base is closed so a tomato does not fall through. Handles are wrapped, not stapled. Hours on the bench, not a clip from a catalogue.

Dry wipe. If it wets in rain, stand it in air — do not bake. Leather wrap takes a little hide cream once a year.
