Know before you buy
The basket features an integrated hanging loop on the back, allowing you to easily mount it to a wall using a standard nail or hook.
Yes, the basket is crafted from natural sisal and sweetgrass, making it a safe and stylish option for holding dry produce like fruit.
To maintain the basket, simply spot clean it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals, and keep it out of direct sunlight to prevent the natural dyes from fading.
Because each piece is handwoven by artisans, there may be slight variations in the weave or shape. You can expect your basket to measure approximately 12 inches in diameter and 3 inches in height.
The basket uses hand-dyed materials, which are durable but can be sensitive to UV light. To preserve the vibrancy of the zig-zag pattern, we recommend placing it in an area that does not receive prolonged, direct sunlight.
