As an avid biker I’m always hassled by having to carry my various things from point A to point B. Backpacks are great but fairly limited and most bike baskets are just glorified and hideous recycled crates. The ornate Carrie Bike Basket is a pretty and stylish solution to my transportation issues.
Created by Swedish designer Marie-Louise Gustafsson the Carrie Bike Basket is reminiscent of a crocheted Swedish tablecloth. The polypropylene bike basket comes in three colors (white, black and green) and can double as a shopping basket.
