Hi! I've been very curious about the connection between the early New Hampshire farm baskets and raw materials and the history of Nantucket Baskets. Thank you so much for this information! Was there a point when it became popular to use hardwood staves on Nantucket or is it true that any "true" Nantucket Basket will be made with Rattan staves? Thank you in advance! Katie

Karol Lindquist is an excellent Nantucket Lightship Basket instructor on Island.
When did GL Brown start making Nantucket baskets
Hermes bags are definitely made by hand as well.
