Our Artisan Network & Material Transparency

GrassCrafts' wholesale and corporate-gifting programme describes a network of more than 200 women artisans working in community groups across India. Products use different natural fibres and may include non-fibre components such as fabric lining, zippers, handles, frames or fittings. For this reason, we do not describe every product as 100% natural or plastic-free. Check each product listing or ask us for its specific material composition.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Kauna, Sabai, and Water Hyacinth grass?

Kauna is commonly woven into fine, structured baskets and organisers; Sabai is a strong grass used in coiled baskets, trays and table accessories; water hyacinth is woven from dried stems into textured baskets and storage pieces. The best choice depends on the product shape, weave, finish and intended use.

How do you clean and maintain handwoven natural-fibre baskets?

Keep handwoven baskets dry and well ventilated. Remove dust with a soft, dry brush or cloth; spot-clean only when the product's material and finish allow it, then air-dry fully away from harsh direct sun. Do not soak or machine-wash unless the specific product instructions explicitly permit it.

Are GrassCrafts hampers suitable for bulk corporate and wedding return gifting?

Yes. GrassCrafts accepts enquiries for bulk hamper baskets and gifting products for corporate occasions, weddings and return gifts. Share quantity, preferred material, dimensions, delivery city and event date. Customisation, production capacity, minimum quantities, pricing and timelines are reviewed and confirmed for each brief.
