Great quality stuff

Great product. Much better than anything else I have seen.

beautiful basket - lovely shape and great craftsmanship

Thank you so much for making my custom order within a few days. The square log basket fits perfectly in the available space next to the woodburning stove and looks great. Excellent service!

Love my baskets. Ordered the washing basket and berry picker/peg basket, both great quality, perfect for purpose and have me wondering what else I need! Thank you for quick service as well.

Beautiful, carefully made basket. Not my first basket from John and certainly won’t be my last. Excellent help as always, and delivered as a gift to a friend with a handwritten note 😊

Excellent, very pleased with the basket and it arrived quickly.

My wet linen washing basket arrived today and I couldn't be more pleased. It's beautifully made, comfortable to hold and looks gorgeous. It also came with a handwritten note from John. I love the fact that it is handmade from sustainable materials, right here in the UK. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend John Cowan Baskets and I will be back to buy another basket. Things like this fill me with a little bit of hope for a better future.

Beautiful basket, beautifully made. Really good value. Quickly and efficiently despatched. I can't fault the product the value or the service. Thank you so much.

John makes beautiful baskets which make very special gifts.

The basket is absolutely beautiful. I am so pleased with it.

We have a few John Cowan baskets now and have recommended them to others. The baskets are always beautiful and well made. Delivery is quick and you are kept up to date on your order. We will order again and continue to recommend.

Beautiful baskets! So skilled. Full of admiration for you preserving this craft. Thankyou

fast delivery, beautiful quality. Worth every penny.

A wonderful day learning the traditional way to make an accurate volume ‘One Bushel’ basket. John had notes on the history and guided me through, teaching me lots of techniques I can carry into my own work. Thanks John!

Fabulous basket...great price and service second to none....ordered on a Tuesday received on Thursday...superb!!

Arrived promptly and in very good condition. I love this sturdy basket. Not my first from John Cowan but my first delivery. I would buy this way again.

Really chuffed with my lovely new washing basket! My Grandma had a similar one which lasted her whole life from marriage and was passed to my Mum. So I'm hopeful that this basket will last just as long! It is certainly a big improvement from the plastic ones I've previously had. Service and delivery good also. Any of these baskets would make a special gift. Highly recommended, Scottish artisan products, please check them out :)

Lovely wet washing baskets! Can't wait to use them, wash day is going to feel so much better. Order processed and received quickly. Would highly recommend. So much nicer to support an artisan who has spent time learning his trade and who is trying to keep traditional skills alive rather than buy cheap mass produced imports - or worse, plastic!

John, Beautiful basket, excellent service. Many thanks, David
