Everything we do here at Carlino’s is on purpose. We handcraft and carefully curate our product collections, design, and overall aesthetic, so it should be no surprise that our gift baskets are no exception.
The Style
The overall aesthetic of the gift baskets is a combination of old and new, informal and formal, polished and rustic. Everything has a sense of purpose, including the reusable wooden boxes, wire baskets and colanders for the home or kitchen. Added touches of recyclable kraft spring fill, satin ribbon and cotton twill pull the items together along with a Carlino’s tag that is hand stamped and signed by the basket maker.
Products You Want
Our goal is plain and simple – no junk. Only artisan, deliciously awesome products that you will immediately want to open up and enjoy, not stick in the back of your pantry where unwanted items go to die. Each product was chosen with the overall experience in mind, to create pairings whose flavors and textures work together. These items are intended to help you create your next spread or homemade meal.
The Mopeen
Each basket includes a Mopeen, which is Italian slang for dishtowel. Just like your Nonnie and our Nonnie would have used. The Mopeen wasn’t just for drying dishes but also used to wrap rising bread, dry homemade pasta or strain homemade ricotta. Our signature red and white mopeen is a tribute to our family and legacy but also a way of life. Just a little something to make our gift baskets extra special and unique.
