Panoplie African Wonky Basket

The basket is intentionally organic rather than perfectly symmetrical. While it maintains a general oval silhouette, you should expect slight variations in the weave and contour, which are hallmarks of its handwoven construction.

Yes, ilala palm is a sturdy, fibrous material traditionally used for basketry because of its resilience. It is well-suited for holding household items like throw blankets, pillows, or magazines.

We recommend keeping it in a dry, well-ventilated space. Natural wicker can be susceptible to mold or mildew if exposed to prolonged humidity or direct water contact.

Simply wipe it down with a soft, dry cloth or use a vacuum with a brush attachment on a low setting. Avoid using water or harsh cleaning agents, as these can damage the natural fibers.

The base is designed to be stable, but because each piece is handmade, there may be very minor wobbling depending on your floor surface. It is intended to be a decorative, functional piece rather than a precision-engineered container.
