Know before you buy
Yes, because each basket is hand-woven by artisans, slight variations in shape and size are expected. You can generally expect the basket to fall within the 15 to 18-inch length and 13 to 15-inch height range.
It is normal for these baskets to arrive slightly compressed. Simply dampen the woven grass with a light mist of water, gently mold it back into your desired shape with your hands, and let it air dry completely.
Yes, the elephant grass is naturally sturdy and resilient. The structured weave is designed to hold a significant amount of weight, making it a reliable choice for farmers' market hauls or daily errands.
Spot clean the grass using a soft cloth dampened with water. Avoid soaking the basket, as excess moisture can compromise the natural fibers; simply wipe the area and allow it to air dry.
The U Shopper features short handles designed primarily for hand-carrying or carrying in the crook of your arm. They are not intended to be worn over the shoulder.
