BASKET MAINTENANCE
Your basket may loose its shape due to the nature of the material. To get the shape back:
APPROXIMATE MEASUREMENTS
MEDIUM - HEIGHT 28CM | WIDTH 41CM
LARGE - HEIGHT 31CM | WIDTH 50CM
CARING FOR YOUR BASKET
If your basket gets wet, simply let it air dry and reshape it as needed. When not in use, it's best to store it in a dry, warm place (free from moisture!) to maintain its quality. Since the dyes used are natural, colours may fade over time if the basket is exposed to direct sunlight. Additionally, because the baskets are made of grass, areas in your home with high moisture levels could potentially lead to mould growth. If you plan to use our baskets as planters or to cover plastic pots, make sure to place a plastic dish at the bottom to catch any excess water. This precaution helps prevent the sisal from rotting and prevents dyes from running.
