Know before you buy
Yes, the basket is designed for serving bread. However, because it is a natural, woven material, we recommend lining it with a cloth napkin if you are serving warm or crusty bread to keep crumbs contained and protect the weave.
Since it is made from natural raffia, avoid submerging it in water. Simply shake it out or use a soft, dry brush to gently remove crumbs from the crevices.
Absolutely. Its versatile size and organic aesthetic make it perfect for holding small items like fruit, napkins, or even as a decorative catch-all on a console table.
Each basket is handcrafted by artisans in Colombia, so you may notice slight variations in the weave or shape. These subtle differences are a hallmark of the artisanal process and ensure that your piece is unique.
The basket is lightweight and designed primarily for bread or light decorative items. It is not intended to support heavy loads or bulky objects.
