Know before you buy
With dimensions of 14" wide, 9" deep, and 9" tall, this basket is sized for daily errands like grocery shopping or carrying beach essentials. Its structured shape makes it ideal for items that need to sit upright, though it is best suited for medium-weight loads.
The tote is crafted from durable palm leaf fiber, which is naturally strong and resilient. While it is a natural material, it is woven specifically for longevity and should hold up well to regular use.
Because of the natural palm leaf and leather materials, you should avoid submerging the bag in water. Instead, spot clean the palm fiber with a slightly damp cloth and use a dry cloth to gently wipe the leather accents.
The leather accents serve both purposes, providing a polished aesthetic while reinforcing the structure of the basket. They are securely attached to ensure the bag maintains its shape and durability over time.
Every purchase directly supports rural artisans in Bangladesh through Ten Thousand Villages. The proceeds contribute to microcredit savings programs, education sponsorships, and essential healthcare initiatives for these communities.
