Hawthorn Cream and Brown Leather Magazine Basket with Strap

A cream and brown leather magazine basket with a buckled strap handle for the side of a sofa, a desk or a hotel lounge.

A slim magazine basket with cream sides, brown leather trim and a buckled strap that doubles as a carry handle. It stands beside a sofa, chair or desk and holds magazines, newspapers or folded throws.

The dark lining hides what is inside and the shape curves upward at the center. At 18 in wide and 8.5 in deep it fits along a wall or between furniture. It suits both residential and hospitality settings.

Planning notes

Place it beside a chair with a lamp and a side table. The cream and brown pairing goes with leather seating, wood tables and neutral rugs.

Set the basket on the floor beside seating, within easy reach. The cream finish with brown leather trim and buckled strap handle adds a strong, simple shape to a room without competing with the furniture. Pair the basket with a throw or a stack of magazines, and vary the heights so the top of the basket is not the highest point. In a waiting room, set it near a seat and refresh the contents each week.

Who this is not for

• Not for outdoor use: we recommend it for indoor rooms.
• Not for heavy loads such as stacks of hardcover books or firewood.
• Not for wet items or damp towels.

Care

Dust with a soft dry cloth. Spot clean only, and keep away from water and direct sun.
