Stunning Baskets from Nazaré

Nazaré began when Izzi, on holiday in the Portuguese seaside town of Nazaré, discovered beautiful handwoven baskets at a local market. Instantly drawn to their unique, colourful charm, she decided to bring them home — and the idea for the business was born. Rooted in traditional Portuguese design, these fabulous baskets bring a relaxed, boho feel that's both timeless and on-trend. With their natural textures and sun-washed tones, they're the perfect accessory for beach days, market strolls, or everyday life in town.
