French vintage wood caddy, primitive tool trug retailer to upcycle, carrying box

A vintage wood caddy, French carrying basket with a long shape, one compartment, and a handle. The wood parts were stapled together. It bears a label "V & B" for Vins et retailer Bières (wines and beers) but a wine bottle would not stand strainght inside because of the handle. Could be perfect to reuse as storage to hold kitchen utensils or flowers, plants, or as garden trug... Condition : traces of previous use inside, and overall surface wear to the wood. Please see photos. It would perhaps need a fine sanding and a white or gray paint ?

Length 15 " (38 cm)
