Know before you buy
Yes, the baskets are woven from durable natural grass using traditional techniques, making them robust enough for daily use. However, they are best suited for lightweight to medium-weight items like linens, towels, or clothing.
To keep your basket in good condition, simply dust it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. If it gets wet, allow it to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area to prevent moisture buildup.
While the baskets are excellent for housing plants, they are not waterproof. We recommend placing a plastic saucer or a leak-proof liner inside the basket before inserting your potted plant to protect the natural fibers from water damage.
Because each basket is meticulously handcrafted by artisans, there may be slight variations in size and shape. These minor differences are a hallmark of the artisanal process and ensure that every piece is unique.
The squared top is designed to provide a modern aesthetic while maintaining a comfortable grip. It functions similarly to a standard open-top basket, making it easy to lift and move around your home as needed.
