Fair Trade. Guaranteed. 100% of our products are made with a process guaranteed by the World Fair Trade Organization.

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).

    Prefer a refund? A single re-stocking fee will apply to returns within 30 days:
    $0 (no fee) for just bedding and/or towels
    $25 for most other returned orders
    $65
    if your return includes oversized items (area rugs, furniture, mirrors)

Beautiful and well made.

This basket is even more beautiful and sturdy than I expected. I am using it to store text books and other papers, with some pretty blankets on top to hide everything. I would buy more baskets of this style.

Absolutely beautiful!

This basket is perfect. I am in love with it. It’s incredibly well made and I’m sure it will last a very long time. Couldn’t be happier.

Beautiful products and service!

This is a great basket, very sturdy. And heavy. I was looking for a laundry basket, which this was too heavy for, which is why I returned it. Seems great if you're using it for storage and not moving it a lot.

Beautiful

As is everything from the citizenry, this basket is so beautiful and so well made. I use it as a laundry basket(moving over clothes to another basket when I do laundry ) and it is such a beautiful piece to the bedroom, so that the laundry can blend in as more like a decor piece than laundry. I highly recommend, would also be lovely for extra throw blankets in a living room.

Great Form, Sturdy, Beautiful Materials

This basket is built to last -- fully structured and free standing. The subtle pattern is lovely, as are the leather handles.
