Vintage Fishing Creel with Leather Straps

A staple of fly fishing culture from the late 19th century through the mid-20th, this handwoven wicker creel with its original leather shoulder strap, wood-and-rattan lid closure, and aged brass hardware was made to be worn at the hip while wading a stream. The deep honey patina, darkened leather, and verdigris on the brass fittings are the marks of a life spent outdoors that cannot be replicated.

Style it: Use as a catch-all basket on a kitchen counter or entryway console, or hang from a peg hook in a mudroom for everyday use.

Dimensions: 9"L x 6.5"W
