Ten Thousand Villages Handled Basket

The basket is hand-woven from natural date palm leaves. This material is known for its strength and flexibility, resulting in a durable, sturdy construction suitable for holding everyday household items.

Yes, the handles are integrated into the woven structure of the basket, which provides extra stability. While they are perfect for carrying essentials like books, linens, or toys, they are best suited for light to medium-weight loads.

To keep your basket in good condition, simply wipe it down with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust. Avoid getting the basket soaking wet, as natural palm leaves can absorb moisture; if it does get wet, let it air dry completely in a well-ventilated area.

Because each basket is hand-woven by artisans using natural date palm leaves, slight variations in color, texture, and shape are expected. These unique characteristics are a hallmark of the handcrafted process and ensure your basket is one-of-a-kind.

While the basket is versatile, it is best kept in dry environments. If you choose to use it in a bathroom, ensure it is placed in a well-ventilated area away from direct water contact to prevent the natural fibers from absorbing excess humidity.
