Know before you buy
You can easily maintain the basket by wiping it down with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid submerging it in water or using harsh cleaning agents, as these can damage the natural seagrass fibers.
Because each basket is hand-woven by Wolof women, there will be slight variations in the geometric patterns and dimensions. These differences are a hallmark of the artisanal process and ensure that your piece is truly one-of-a-kind.
Yes, the basket is designed for serving bread or dry goods. We recommend using a cloth napkin or liner inside if you are serving items that might leave crumbs or oils, as the natural seagrass texture can be difficult to deep clean.
While the average dimensions are 14" H x 9" W x 2" D, the handmade nature of the weaving process means you should expect a variation of up to 1.5 inches in any direction.
Absolutely. Its sturdy construction and vibrant design make it an excellent decorative accent for holding keys, mail, or small accessories on a console table or shelf.
