Hand Woven With a Fringed Rim

On a shelf or at the foot of a bed, a good storage basket gets noticed as much for what it holds as for how it is made. The black and natural tassel basket rests on a two tone black and beige weave made by hand, whose regularity shows real basketry skill. Its fringed rim with white pom poms adds unexpected textile relief that breaks the simplicity of the weave without weighing it down. Sturdy and supple, the fiber improves with the years, developing a patina that gives it character. Books, toys, towels or small objects naturally find their place inside.

Two Tone Weave, White Tassels

Two tones, natural and black, interlace in a regular rhythm that structures the walls of the two tone belly basket with tassels even before the eye reaches the pom poms around the rim. The white cotton tassels, knotted one by one along the top edge, are not an afterthought: they are part of the basket maker's work, whose hands set their length and spacing on each piece. On a low cabinet, under a coffee table or next to a sofa, this tasseled basket catches the light differently with the hour, revealing the relief of the weave. The two tone fiber draws soft stripes that give the whole body without needing any other effect.

Natural Fiber and Hand Knotted Tassels

Placing a hand woven basket with tassels in a home brings in an object that tells a story: the patience of the gesture, the regularity of the weave, the choice of a living material. Each strand is bent, crossed and tightened by hand, at a pace nothing can mechanize. The hand knotted tassels border the rim with gentle precision, neither an unnecessary add on nor a simple finish. Practical every day for linens, toys or accessories, this basket fits into a natural mood without ever weighing on the eye. The raw fiber develops a patina over time and gains character with every season.

Frequently asked questions

Which size should I choose?

XS (9.1 x 8.7 in) fits a small plant pot or toiletries, S (10.6 x 9.4 in) a medium plant or toys, and M (12.6 x 11 in) a throw, towels or a larger plant.

Can I use it as a plant pot cover?

Yes. Place your potted plant inside with a saucer or a plastic liner underneath, so watering never soaks the weave.

Will the tassels come off?

The tassels are knotted by hand to the rim and hold firmly with normal use. Lift the basket by its body rather than by the fringe.

How do I clean a rattan basket?

Remove dust with a soft brush or the brush attachment of your vacuum, then wipe with a slightly damp cloth and let it air dry. Avoid soaking it or leaving it in direct sun for long periods.
