Made with higher standards. We preserve artisan craft by paying wages that average 2x the fair trade requirement.
Our baskets are sturdy, strong, and flexible, made to withstand constant use. If properly cared for, your basket will live a long life.
Dust your woven basket on a regular basis, wiping with a damp cloth if necessary. No other cleaning should be necessary.
Changes in temperature and humidity may cause your basket to expand and contract, which may make securing the lid difficult at times. Be patient and wait for the weather to change or remove from areas with high humidity (like bathrooms).

United StatesThis is a beautiful piece, and the large basket is able to hold a significant quantity. The lid was slightly offsize, significantly larger than the basket, but still totally useable.
