Know before you buy
The palm leaf construction is surprisingly sturdy and designed for market hauls, picnics, and foraging. While it is durable, it is best suited for everyday goods rather than extremely heavy or sharp-edged items that could snag the natural fibers.
Yes, the straps are made from vegetable-tanned leather, which softens and conforms to your shoulders over time. They are fully adjustable, allowing you to find a custom fit that distributes weight comfortably.
To clean the palm leaves, gently wipe them down with a cloth dampened with diluted vinegar. It is essential to let the basket dry completely in the sun afterward to prevent any moisture buildup.
Because each piece is ethically handwoven by artisans, there will be slight variations in the weave and shape. These unique characteristics are a hallmark of the handcrafted process and mean your basket is truly one-of-a-kind.
Its design is quite versatile. While it excels at carrying produce or picnic supplies, the minimalist aesthetic and leather detailing make it a stylish, functional choice for casual city outings or trips to the park.
