Our Design:
What sets our basket apart is its unique combination of materials, shape, and construction. While taking inspiration from traditional seagrass belly basket styling, we modernized the basket shape and upgraded the materials to a thicker and more robust seagrass construction. Our seagrass, or water hyacinth, is natural brown in color and is braided into rope. The rope is then coiled and sewn into its intended shape, transitioning to soft cotton rope on top. Dense patches of accent threading are added to reinforce the handles as well as placed randomly throughout for additional character.
