Measurements & weight (Length x Width x Height, without handles):
- S: 33 x 29 x 17 cm; 0.67 kg
- M: 38 x 32 x 19 cm; 0.75 kg

Materials and sensory qualities:

- Main materials: Seagrass, Banana fibre.
- Other materials: Nylon thread (used for stitching).
- The baskets are made from plant fibres and therefore retain a natural scent and tactile character.

Material notes:
- Seagrass: The material commonly called “seagrass” by basket makers is a small, palm-like coastal plant found on sandy tropical beaches in Asia. Leaves are harvested, cut into strips, dried and woven by hand.
- Banana fibre: Fibres come from the layered trunks of banana trees used in agriculture. The deep brown colour appears naturally after sun-drying for about a week. The dried strips are rolled into the characteristic ~6 mm-thick strands. Only old, dying banana trees are used, giving the plants a second life as a stable, robust raw material.

Craftsmanship and production:

- Handmade in Java, Indonesia.
- We select local producers who provide fair pay and good working conditions. Only adult, experienced artisans work in the production facilities we source from.
- No harmful chemicals are used in manufacturing. Because all steps are hand-executed, the production process generates minimal greenhouse gas emissions.
- Slight variations in size, colour and shape are normal and to be expected, as each piece is individually handcrafted and materials are natural.

Usage and care tips:

- Use as decorative storage or functional baskets throughout the home: living room, bathroom, bedroom or kitchen.
- Keep dry and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to preserve colours and fibre integrity.
- Light dusting or a gentle shake is usually sufficient to clean; avoid soaking in water.

Production ethics and environmental considerations:

- Handmade craftsmanship supports local artisan communities.
- Materials are natural and renewable; packaging is plastic-free.
- We maintain regular on-site visits and a
