Masterfully woven in Mexico from braided palm leaves, each of these baskets takes days to complete. Artisans carefully select the best palm leaves then dry and weave them using methods passed down through generations. This classic yet functional design pairs natural palm with a block of subtle earthy color.
*Please note that, due to the handmade nature, there may be slight variations in size and design. The plant-based dyes used in this item may have a mild odor that will fade within a few days.
