Maltby Market Basket

Initially London

£70

The Personalised Maltby Basket is handwoven from finely crafted palm leaves and finished with adjustable leather straps that can be worn over the shoulder or carried by hand - two styles in one. A more delicate take on our Covent Garden Basket, it features a neater top finish, a finer weave, and elegant flat handles that can be adapted in length. We sourced this basket on a buying trip to Morocco, where palm leaves grow abundantly and are traditionally used for weaving. Both durable and sustainable, palm leaf is a natural material designed to last. Each basket is handmade by an Artisan Women’s

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as INITIALLY LONDON LIMITED, number 09254941. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
