Picnic Basket Direct
OUR HISTORY:
We began as a partnership under the name of Homemade Baskets in the
late 1980's. In the beginning, we marketed Nantucket Baskets, Reed
baskets, Shaker Baskets, New England Baskets, Americana crafts, and a limited
number of Shaker furniture through craft fairs across the country and local
merchants. Though our main product line was always Nantucket Baskets
(hence our name) we frequently experimented with all types of basket weaving and
materials. We opened shop in 1991 in Central Pennsylvania. Through
contacts with vendors and local artisans, we began to sell other unique product
lines that suited our basket collection. The partners shared a common
goal: to provide handcrafted products and to make these fantastic wares more
accessible for consumers.
After a several years, the partnership disbanded, but one of the partners
remained on board and continued to carry on the business in a family owned
environment. With a new sense of purpose and fresh ideas, the business
began looking in 2002 for a way to expand its basket market. The internet
happily provided that outlet. We closed our shop in PA and moved our business to
our home base on Long Island, NY. Despite years of retail experience, we
never lost site of our basket roots and it's this devotion to Nantucket Basketry
that gave birth to our new business name: Nantucketinc.com. In 2003, our website
took our vision to the next level.
