Handwoven Lidded Baskets

This handwoven lidded basket is perfect to store all your threads and sewing supplies.

Woven from natural Water Hyacinth fibre, the baskets are designed and made by the skilled craftswomen of Simang Collective in Assam, India, and are part of an initiative to protect biodiversity in the wetlands of the Deeporbeel Wildlife Sanctuary. The fishing communities of Deeporbeel have shared this wetland for centuries, following successful community-led biodiversity management practices to live in balance within the natural world.

Each basket is woven by hand, and there is some variation in sizing.
