Know before you buy
The basket includes a built-in loop on the back, allowing you to easily hang it using a standard wall hook or nail.
Yes, it functions perfectly as a decorative fruit bowl. However, because it is made of natural, non-water-resistant fibers, it is best suited for dry produce like apples or oranges.
Each plateau is crafted using traditional coil weaving techniques with hand-dyed sisal fibers wrapped around a core of sweetgrass.
Because each piece is artisan-crafted, there will be slight variations in the weave and color patterns. This ensures that your specific basket is a unique, one-of-a-kind item.
We do not recommend placing this basket in high-humidity areas. The natural fibers are not water-resistant and may be damaged by moisture over time.
