Know before you buy
Vignes d'eau, or water vine, is a sustainable jungle plant known for its remarkable strength and flexibility. When hand-woven, it creates a rigid, durable structure that resists wear, making it an excellent long-term choice for daily kitchen use.
Yes, its oval shape and refined edging make it versatile enough for serving fruit, holding cloth napkins, or acting as a decorative catch-all on a console table. The natural texture complements a variety of interior styles, from coastal to modern farmhouse.
The best way to maintain the basket is to gently shake out any loose debris or use a soft-bristled brush to clear the crevices. Avoid submerging it in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as this can compromise the natural fibers.
Because each piece is crafted by artisans in remote South Pacific villages, there may be slight variations in the weave pattern or color tones. These subtle differences are a hallmark of authentic craftsmanship and ensure your basket is one-of-a-kind.
Yes, every basket includes a statement of authenticity that is personally signed by the artisan who created it. This provides a direct connection to the maker and confirms the ethical sourcing of the materials.
