LADORADA Tagua Wood & Palm Wastebasket

Yes, tagua—often called vegetable ivory—is a dense, hard material that stands up well to daily use. However, because it is a natural material inlaid into wood, it is best to avoid direct, prolonged contact with standing water or harsh chemical cleaners.

No, this piece is designed as a decorative, open-top vessel without an inner liner. We recommend using it for dry waste like paper or tissues, or placing a small, discreet plastic liner inside if you plan to dispose of damp items.

Simply wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. If you need to clean the interior, use a slightly damp cloth and dry it immediately to preserve the integrity of the wood and natural inlay.

With a weight of 4 lbs and an 8.7-inch square base, this wastebasket is quite sturdy. It is designed to sit flat on the floor and will not easily tip over during normal use.

Because the wastebasket is made from natural palm seeds and handcrafted in Colombia, each piece features unique variations in the grain and inlay pattern. You can expect your item to have its own distinct character, though it will closely match the aesthetic shown.
