Bullitt basket

Handmade Willow Basket for Original Bullitt & eBullitt

Crafted by hand in North Yorkshire by master basketmaker John Taylor, this custom willow basket brings timeless craftsmanship to your Bullitt. John has been making baskets since the 1960s, continuing a family tradition that began in 1867. Each basket is made from locally grown, hand-harvested willow — soaked, shaped, and woven with care to fit your Bullitt perfectly.

More than just a cargo solution, this basket is part of a living tradition. Each one is unique, reflecting the natural variation of the materials and the hand-made process.

Care Instructions:
Although it’s sturdy by construction, it should not be left wet. If the basket does get wet, dry it thoroughly under cover — do not try to dry it using heat. To keep your basket in great condition, apply a light coat of boiled linseed oil once a year. Only a small amount is needed, and after oiling, the basket should dry out for a few days before use.

Before You Load Up

• The basket does not include mounting hardware.
• We recommend wide zip-ties to not pinch the willow, and to rest assured it won't shake off when riding gravel to that special picnic spot.
• The basket can also be placed on top of the honeycomb to keep the setup flexible.
• Remember to distribute your cargo evenly in the basket to minimize the stress on the willow.
