The basket is handwoven from a combination of natural millet grass and black plastic threads. This blend provides the structural integrity needed for daily use while maintaining a distinct, minimalist aesthetic.

Yes. The combination of millet grass and plastic threading creates a durable, rigid structure that is well-suited for holding heavier household items like throw pillows, children's toys, or rolled towels.

Because it is made from natural grass and plastic, you can easily wipe it down with a damp cloth to remove dust. Avoid submerging it in water or using harsh chemicals, as this may damage the natural fibers.

Slight variations in shape, weave, and size are expected and celebrated. Because each basket is handwoven by artisans in Senegal, your piece will have unique characteristics that distinguish it from mass-produced items.

The basket’s clean lines and neutral, high-contrast palette make it a natural fit for Japandi decor. Use it as a standalone floor piece to store textiles, or tuck it under a console table to keep clutter hidden while maintaining a minimalist look.
