Three handwoven storage baskets: the Striped Woven Seagrass Storage Basket, and the Luz and Moana handwoven rattan storage baskets, both sold as a set of 2. Hand woven seagrass baskets suit throws and cushions; the rattan pair suits an open shelf.
How do you clean a woven basket?
Run a vacuum brush head over the inside and outside, following the direction the weave runs so the head does not catch and lift a strand. Anything stuck comes off with a cloth wrung out almost dry, and the basket wants to air before it goes back into use, since natural fibre left wet loosens at the joins. Empty it first: dust settles under whatever is stored inside.
How do you reshape a woven basket?
Mist it lightly with water, work the sides back square with both hands, then leave it to dry slowly away from a radiator or direct sun. Drying fast is what sets a crease permanently. If the base has bowed from heavy storage, stand a flat weight inside while it dries. A set of 2 like the Luz Round Handwoven Rattan Storage Basket usually loses shape on the larger piece first, since that is the one carrying blankets.

FAQ
What is a woven basket made of?
Ours are handwoven from seagrass or rattan. Seagrass has a coarser, rope like surface and gives under weight. Rattan is firmer and keeps a square shape better on an open shelf.
