The Design

A flexible handled basket, handwoven of cotton and jute. We like to use this in the bedroom as a hamper, in the living room for miscellany (cozy blankets, workout stuff), and in the trunk of our car to collect clutter. Sometimes, we fill it with peshtemals, sunscreen, and snacks to take to the beach. We also like to combine both colors in the playroom—cute and clean at once.

The Material

Cotton, a vegetable fiber, is a stalwart textile, beloved for its sturdiness and strength. Flexible and easy to clean, it has the ability to stay white over long periods of time, maintaining its crispness and vibrancy. Jute is a natural fiber with a golden sheen, known for its tensile strength and versatility. Low-shed, easy-to-clean, and biodegradable, it’s an eco-conscious crop because of its minimal water needs, and because it consumes large enough quantities of carbon dioxide that it’s C02-neutral.

The Maker

Our partner is an artisanal cooperative located outside of Marrakech who specializes in handweaving and embroidery. Known for their updated spins on traditional Moroccan products, they share profits equally and have a school onsite so mothers can work. Their goal is to preserve traditional crafts and techniques, passing them along to younger generations through careful training.
