Petite Cross Body Egg Shaped Nantucket Basket

A true Cape Cod treasure.

We stumbled upon a small collection of vintage Nantucket-style basket purses while antiquing on the Cape—and knew immediately they were too special to leave behind. This piece is a signed Farnum basket, beautifully handwoven in the iconic Nantucket style and full of the character that only comes with a vintage find.

Timeless, collectible, and effortlessly coastal, it’s just as beautiful carried as a summer bag as it is displayed at home. Each basket has lived a life before us, so expect subtle variations and signs of age that make every piece completely one-of-a-kind.
