moroccan sequin basket obsession

I have been so lusting over sequined Moroccan souk market baskets. These baskets are handy when it comes to carrying loads of stuff, going to the beach, shopping or simply going out. After months of waiting and searching, I found them on ebay at a very good price. I have been thinking of using them in my home decor. They would look stylish while storing my clutter. Most of these baskets are made out of natural raffia (straw), some have leather handles, some ebroidered or painted, some are sparkly which I am so obssessed with. My favorite gold and silver sequin baskets are hard to find in the States, mostly sold out or overpriced. These baskets are so beautiful in person I feel like I want to have them in every color:)

Here are my silver and gold Moroccan baskets in close-up.

On top of an Indian cabinet in my bedroom they store my stuff while looking stylish.

Here are some of the Moroccan baskets that I love on my Pinterest;

Love the interiors with Moroccan baskets.

Which baskets would you pick; Sequined, plain, painted or embroidered? How would you use them?

If you search for one of these lovelies on ebay you can find it under "Souk market basket/tote".

Have a great day!xx
