CARE INSTRUCTIONS

  • Spot clean using minimal water. Dab (do not rub) using an undyed paper towel or cloth to prevent the colors from bleeding. Dry completely to avoid molding. To preserve the natural colors and stop fading, do not place in direct sunlight. Steam or wet basket in shallow water to mold to desired shape. Let dry.
  • Please note: These baskets are handwoven in small batches with locally sourced Milulu grass, so the colors may first have green undertones in person. They will evolve subtly over time with exposure to light — often developing a golden hue.We celebrate these changes in the natural, ever-evolving materials that make each piece special.

MATERIALS

  • Milulu grass
