What are natural-fibre baskets?
Natural-fibre baskets are storage and home accessories woven from plant-based materials. Depending on their shape and weave, they can help organise everyday essentials, display plants, arrange table accessories or present gifts. As these are handmade products, small variations in texture, shape and finish can be part of their individual character.
Sabai grass baskets: versatile handmade storage
Sabai grass is used by artisans to create a wide variety of woven products, from trays and containers to baskets and decorative pieces. Different shapes and weaving styles can suit shelves, tabletops and other areas where you want useful storage with a natural look. Explore the GrassCrafts bestsellers to discover selected handmade products.
Kauna grass bags and baskets
Kauna grass is used to make woven bags, clutches, totes and gift hamper baskets. Styles can vary by handle, shape, embroidery and weave, making it useful to compare product photos and descriptions before choosing a piece. For gifts or everyday carrying, select a design based on its stated dimensions, construction and intended use.
Water hyacinth baskets for organised spaces
Water hyacinth weaving can be used for round, square and rectangular baskets, including designs with lids, as well as table mats and organisers. Baskets with compartments can help group items such as cutlery or table accessories, while lidded styles can keep stored items visually tidy. Check each product listing for its size and care instructions.
