Cotton & Crete Gathering Basket

The basket is crafted from natural, untreated reed. This preserves the organic texture and authentic look, though it means the material is porous and should be kept away from standing water or damp environments to prevent mildew.

The basket features a sturdy, hand-woven construction designed for typical gathering tasks like harvesting vegetables or carrying lightweight household items. While durable, it is not intended for heavy loads like firewood or dense tools.

Yes, it is perfect for garden harvests, but because it is made of natural reed, it should not be left outside permanently. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and rain will cause the material to fade, become brittle, or degrade over time.

For light dust, a soft brush or a dry cloth is sufficient. If you need a deeper clean, wipe it gently with a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area to prevent moisture buildup.

Because each basket is hand-woven by artisans, slight variations in dimensions and weave pattern are expected. You can expect the final product to be very close to the 20-1/2"L x 8"W x 8"H specification, but minor differences are part of its unique character.
