Our baskets are not made in factories nor are they mass produced by machine like many products in this fast paced technologically modern world. Every basket is made by hand, sustainably using indigenous raw materials, varying from area to area depending on the availability of raw materials. Each basket is unique in its shape, size, pattern, weave and color. Feel the love in each piece, which has been created through age old traditions handed down through the generations. We love this slow fashion philosophy in keeping this rich age-old craft heritage alive and it brings us great joy in uplifting and providing sustainable opportunities for the communities in which we operate. Without the skill, style and commitment of these artisan weavers, it would not be possible for us to bring you this piece. 

Basket ware Care and Cleaning Tips: Keep basket ware in a dry and closed area. Basket ware kept on a porch or open area will become prone to mold.  If your baskets show mold signs, clean lightly with a damp cloth with vinegar. If used as a planter, use a plastic or metal inner to line the basket.
