Know before you buy
Fique is a natural, durable plant fiber native to the Colombian Andes. It is known for its strength and structural integrity, making it an excellent material for a sturdy, long-lasting basket tray.
Because each tray is handcrafted by artisans in Guacamayas, slight variations in size are expected. While the height remains a consistent 2.5 inches, you should allow for minor differences in the diameter of the weave.
To keep your tray in good condition, spot clean it with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid submerging it in water or using harsh chemicals, as these can damage the natural fibers.
Yes, it is perfect for serving dry items like bread, fruit, or pastries. If you plan to serve items that might leave moisture or oils, we recommend using a cloth napkin or liner to protect the natural fiber weave.
The 10-inch small tray is ideal for organizing small tabletop items or serving individual drinks, while the 14-inch large tray provides a more substantial surface for breakfast in bed or serving dinner rolls for a group.
