Know before you buy
The basket comes with an integrated fabric hanging loop on the back, allowing you to easily mount it on a wall hook or nail.
It is designed for both purposes. You can use it as a decorative wall piece or as a functional shallow basket for storing small items on a tabletop.
Because it is made from natural sisal and sweetgrass, it should be spot cleaned only. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals to preserve the natural dyes.
Each piece is hand-dyed using natural materials, which means there may be slight variations in color and pattern. This makes every basket a unique, one-of-a-kind item.
No, this piece is intended for indoor use only. Exposure to direct sunlight or moisture may cause the natural fibers to fade or degrade over time.
