    A Tisket a Tasket a Fabulous Black & White Basket, 1.8.2012

Reviewer: Mindy (Robesonia, PA)

I adore this basket. I have 2 and they fit perfectly in the top of the smaller carts in my supermarket. I generally fill them as I shop, empty them onto the checkout counter, and refill as I leave the store.
They are well designed with only one handle, that is tall enough that I can put bottles in the basket easily.
The shape and the fact that they stand up makes them much more practical than regular bags, and they are soooooo stylish.

It took me some time to find tea table size doilies and I must say all the of six doilies (each different) I ordered from Touch of Europe are in most excellent condition exactly as they described. I am most pleased with the products I purchased and recommend Touch of Europe to everyone at the highest level.

    THE basket to have!, 12.2.2011

I adore my basket I received as a gift! It has become my to-go basket for every day! I use it not only for shopping, but also for schlepping items up and down stairs at home! When you have a large staircase, being able to carry a good amount of items back n forth (including a small load of laundry!) in the tote is super!

    All over Germany, should be all over US!, 10.26.2011

Reviewer: Krykie (, )

This review is from: Carry Bag - Reisenthel Germany Collapsible Bag Carybag or Market Basket
While in Germany briefly (two months), I saw these bags everywhere. I rarely, if ever, saw those cheap bags that the stores give away in the USA (or now sell for $.99). I rarely saw plastic bags either (but a few). These baskets (this brand) are ubiquitous. I thought about buying one for use in the US when I returned home, but figured I didn't have room in my luggage for luggage... and then regretted not listening to my desire to buy one when I could!
A few weeks after returning home, I found them on Amazon.com, and purchased one from "Touch of Europe."
This basket is about the same size as the grocery store hand-held basket, so when I go through the market I fill up this bag in the same way. The top handles easily swivel down flat, so you can place your purchases on the conveyor belt. Best part is coming home -- no more spilled over bags and rolling cans or smashed bread; this basket acts like a cardboard box; items sit perfectly without "adjusting" during the drive home. The bottom has 1/4" "feet" on it, so it won't sit in water or other spills when you get home and put it on the counter, or if something else has spilled wherever you place the basket; it stays clean. The basket is definitely of "German quality". Well designed, nice, and should last decades.
The only note is the "collapsible" part. It is indeed collapsible, but not worth collapsing unless you have to. The basket is canvas/cloth, and stays upright by four battens/flat pieces of plastic on the sides that slip in and out of the sewn in pockets to make it rigid. Easy enough to do, but it isn't a quick "pop up" or "pop down" collapse. It would take, oh, only about 45 seconds to insert the plastic, but.... why bother unless you had to.
Also, men in Germany carry these too -- tend to use the solid colors.
PROS:
* I get compliments on the basket (so nice people would actually compliment a basket? Apparently so!); so much better to re-use than the "free with store logo" bags that are in general re-use in the US. I'm not advertising for anyone.
* Grocery items don't spill, roll, get smashed, or displace in the back seat of my car on the drive home.
* I feel so European and hip....
CONS:
* It can collapse, but not very quickly.
* Spending $40 for a basket when you already have 50 "reusable" bags seems nutty.
* There are so many colors and patterns to choose from -- and I am fighting the desire to buy another Reisenthel bag, just for another color...
Definitely recommend. The basket is of quality, protects purchases better than a plastic bag, and you can be "green" by doing one better than advertising the stores that gave you that cheap $.99 bag....
