The Fox Mercantile Grass & Date Leaf Basket

Yes, the hand-woven construction using grass and date leaf provides a solid, durable structure. While it is best suited for lighter household items like throw blankets, towels, or magazines, it is robust enough to handle daily use.

Because it is crafted from natural grass and date leaf, you may notice a faint, earthy, or grassy scent upon unboxing. This is characteristic of natural fibers and typically dissipates quickly once the basket is placed in a well-ventilated room.

To keep your basket in good condition, simply wipe it down with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust. Avoid using harsh cleaning agents or submerging it in water, as moisture can damage the natural fibers.

The integrated handle is designed for light-to-medium loads, making it easy to carry items from room to room. However, it is not intended for heavy-duty lifting, so we recommend using it for lighter storage needs.

As with any hand-woven natural fiber product, there may be slight variations in the weave texture. While it is generally smooth, we recommend being mindful when placing delicate fabrics inside to avoid potential snagging.
