Equestrian Bit Genuine Leather Magazine Basket by Vagabond House

Genuine leather and braided handles give this open magazine basket a substantial, tactile presence. A pewter equestrian bit decorates the side, turning a place for current reading into a useful furnishing beside a chair or desk.

“My preference is a small, changing selection of current reading. A basket becomes much less inviting when last month's magazines are hiding this week's underneath them.”
-Mrs. Mayfair

Care & Ownership

Dust with a soft, dry cloth. Lift marks gently with a barely damp cloth, testing an inconspicuous spot first, then dry at once. Keep leather from soaking and avoid harsh cleaners, metal polish, direct heat and prolonged sunlight. Empty the interior regularly and store clean and dry without heavy objects pressing on the shape.

Maker / Heritage

Vagabond House began in 1986 by turning antique silver tableware into jewelry and table accents. The Haas and Hardy families focused the company on tableware after acquiring it in 2004, and three generations now contribute to the Sierra Madre, California business. Its designers look closely at nature, old architecture and antiques, then work with carvers, artisans and fabricators to bring those ideas into useful objects. In the pewter work, details such as the veins of an oak leaf or the textured skin of a pear are carved and polished into the form. That attention to small, recognizable things gives the pieces much of their character at the table.
