The small tall basket is a pleasing shape and a practical size for sorting and storing items around the home. It's an easy way to add texture and style to any room. With a little ReSpiin fabric label stitched to the edge, the basket size is approximately 8.5 x 11 cm in diameter.
Why we love it
Approximate size: 8.5 x 11 cm diameter.
Please note due to the handmade nature of this product, sizes will vary in height and diameter from item to item.
Wipe clean. Avoid damp environments.
Jute plants are easy to grow, have a high yield per
acre and, unlike cotton, have little need for pesticides and fertilisers. Jute thrives during the rainy season in Bangladesh, which lasts from June to October. The plants are ready to harvest in just four to six months, after the flowers have shed.
The fibres lie beneath the bark, surrounding the woody core. To extract this, the jute bundles are submersed in water for a few allowing the fibres to loosen and separate from the stalk. The fibres are then stripped, washed, and dried to become the raw material used to create ReSpiin baskets.
The remaining jute stalks can be used in a similar way to wood pulp or work well as a renewable cooking fuel source.
Beyond their practical applications, jute plants also offer environmental benefits. During growth, they absorb three times more CO2 than the average tree, converting it into oxygen. Additionally, the leaves and roots left after harvest enrich the soil with micronutrients, maintaining fertility. Jute is also 100% biodegradable.
Overall, jute is a versatile, sustainable, and eco-friendly crop that is well-suited for cultivation. Its ease of growth, high yield, and diverse applications make it a valuable agricultural resource.
The sewing thread used in this product is made of 70% polyester and 30% cotton. It cannot be 100% cotton thread as this will not tolerate the sewing machine tension needed to be able to stitch the jute into place.
The Bangladeshi basket producer is committed to providing regular, safe, and hygienic employment, and pays all workers a living wage. They have developed an innovative process for producing high-quality jute rope and stylish baskets, which yields a much higher return than basic jute sacks.
ReSpiin has visited this producer and witnessed the pride in their work and treatment of employees.

I bought my friend’s secret Santa gift from here and everything was perfect - the package was ordered and arrived within the stated time, the packaging was eco friendly and the products were just fantastic. I love that this company is doing something ethical, quietly and without a fuss but that it does it to the absolute best of its ability and exactly what you’d expect. Plus from looking at the website it’s a team of dedicated and fabulous women (and Lola the dog!) who are committed to what they do.
I’d definitely recommend and will be ordering again!
Item exactly as described and delivered well packed and on time as promised, thank you :)
Keep coming back, maybe not very often, to look for presents or useful stuff around the house. Always smooth and swift service; well wrapped packages usually pretty quick delivery too.
