This iconic Moroccan “couffin” basket brings together traditional palm-leaf weaving with a bold, hand-cut leather fish design that gives it real personality. The body is tightly woven from natural doum palm, while the oversized fish motif is crafted from genuine brown leather, hand-stitched directly onto the basket with visible black thread for an artisan finish. Colorful accents in yellow and light blue add detail to the eye, mouth, and fins.

Topped with sturdy tan leather handles and reinforced leather tabs with white stitching, this bag is built to carry your essentials from the souk to the beach and back.
