Know before you buy
Tetera is a natural, fibrous material native to the Cauca region of Colombia. It is known for its flexibility and strength, making it ideal for hand-weaving durable, long-lasting home goods.
While the basket is sturdy, it is not waterproof. We recommend placing a plastic saucer or a waterproof liner inside the basket before adding your potted plant to protect the natural fibers from moisture.
The smaller sizes (25 cm and 40 cm) are ideal for desktop organization or small potted succulents. The larger sizes (80 cm and 100 cm) are substantial enough to serve as floor-standing statement pieces for laundry, blankets, or tall indoor trees.
To keep the basket in top condition, simply dust it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using water or harsh cleaning chemicals, as these can damage the natural fibers and the integrity of the dyes.
Because each basket is hand-woven using natural, sustainably dyed fibers, there may be slight variations in color tone and pattern. These subtle differences are a hallmark of the authentic, traditional craftsmanship of the Eperâra Siapidarâ community.
