Description |
Rectangular red shopping basket with "Baer Fabrics" in white lettering on both long sides. The basket has a metal frame consisting of a horizontal rectangle on the top and bottom of the basket and two vertical bars per side. This frame is covered with red vinyl fabric. The vinyl is sewn around the frame at the top edge, and a matching vinyl handle is riveted to the main piece of vinyl below the top frame bar. Otherwise, the frame is placed inside the vinyl but not secured or concealed. On the two long sides of the basket, the handle starts as two pieces of vinyl straps meeting above the basket to form a triangle; these side straps are attached to each other with a single vinyl strap. The sides of the basket show the back/"wrong" side of the vinyl fabric. |
