The Mini Fan features our classic sisal basket, in a re-imagined fan shape —that fits against the body. This piece can be worn crossbody or over the shoulder, thanks to its adjustable whipstitch strap, crafted from luxurious Italian Nappa Leather. To ensure both style and practicality, the interior is lined with organic cotton canvas, and your belongings are securely kept in place with a convenient drawstring closure.


Cesta baskets are handwoven of locally sourced, renewable resources, by talented female artisans in Rwanda, Africa. Each piece is hand finished in Italy with very carefully chosen, sustainable materials.

Shipping will be calculated at checkout. Read more about our return policy here.

We aim to process your order within 48 hours of receiving it, Monday - Friday. Orders placed after 2PM on Friday - Sunday, will be processed the following Monday. During sale periods, please allow up to one additional week for shipping.

When not in use, store your Cesta in the dustbag, out of the sun. Avoiding long periods of direct sunlight is key to preserving the vibrant colors of the natural vegetable dye.

Occasionally, sisal & raffia will fray with wear. It’s safe to trim frayed pieces of sisal/fiber with small scissors, to keep your bag looking like new.

If the shape of your basket gets squished or dented, don’t fret! Your basket will return to its former shape with a bit of massaging.

While your basket will hold its pigment in rain & snow, we don't recommend a full submersion. But life happens, and if your Cesta falls overboard, just leave it somewhere (out of direct sun) to dry naturally.
