Leather Handled Basket
Introducing the Leather Handled Basket, a beautiful example of minimalist design with a purposeful, functional twist. Hand-woven by artisans using date palm leaves, this basket brings a touch of natural elegance to any space, whether you're using it to serve bread on your dinner table or organize small items around the home. The simplistic and sleek design makes it perfect for those who appreciate craftsmanship and simplicity, while the warm tones of the palm leaves offer a rustic charm.
Crafted by artisans working with Rishilpi, a fair trade partner based in Bangladesh, this piece supports rural artisans in their efforts to sustain and grow their livelihoods. Rishilpi provides essential training and support to the artisans, empowering them to create high-quality, handmade goods while improving their economic opportunities.
The basket is adorned with two tan leather handles, one on each short side, which are thoughtfully sewn into the design. These leather handles provide a sturdy and ergonomic way to carry the basket while adding a subtle contrast to the natural fibers. The leather tabs are beautifully stitched, offering both durability and an additional design element that enhances the overall aesthetic of the piece.
With dimensions of 14.5 inches in length, 11 inches in width, and 2.5 inches in height, the Leather Handled Basket is the perfect size for serving snacks, fruits, or bread, or simply as a stylish storage solution. The internal dimensions of 13.5 inches by 9.75 inches offer just enough room for your essentials, while its compact, functional design allows it to be easily stored when not in use. The handle length of approximately 10.25 inches makes it convenient to carry around, whether it’s placed on your countertop or brought to the table.
Care Instructions: To keep your basket looking its best, simply wipe it with a damp cloth. As with any handcrafted item, avoid submerging the basket in water to preserve its integrity and texture.
This handwoven basket is more than just a practical accessory for your home—it’s a reminder of the skill and dedication of artisans working in rural Bangladesh, creating pieces that celebrate both tradition and sustainability.
