This medium shallow seagrass basket has a flat bottom and a black jute rim. Not just useful for storing fruit or serving bread, it also works well in any room of the house for keeping shelves tidy and organised. 7.5cm x 21.5cm.
Why we love it
Features a little fabric ReSpiin label stitched onto the rim. Hand made responsibly in Bangladesh. Both seagrass and jute are naturally renewable and sustainable materials. Comes with recyclable swing tag.
Wipe clean.
Approximate size: 7.5cm high x 21.5cm diameter. Please note due to the hand made nature of this product, sizes will vary in height and diameter from item to item.
Seagrass grows very quickly in shallow saltwater along coastlines and rivers. Once mature, the grass is cut by hand and dried in the sun, then hand twisted and woven. Dried seagrass is durable and moisture resistant.
Jute plants are easy to grow, have a high yield per acre and, unlike cotton, have little need for pesticides and fertilisers. Jute grows during the rainy season in Bangladesh which is from June to October. The plants are ready to harvest in four to six months, after the flowers are shed.
Jute plants help to clean the air. During growth they take in three times more CO2 than the average tree, converting this CO2 into oxygen. Jute plants also enrich the soil. As these plants grow fast, they are often used in crop rotation. The leaves and roots left after harvest enrich the soil with micronutrients, maintaining soil fertility. Jute is 100% biodegradable.
The producer of the baskets in Bangladesh is committed to providing regular employment in a working environment that is safe and hygienic. They pay a living wage to all employees. They have developed an innovative way of producing jute rope and stylish jute baskets which means that can produce a much higher return from the jute than when it is sold for basic jute sacks. ReSpiin has visited the producer of the baskets and has seen first hand how they take pride in what they produce and in how they treat their workers.
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 seagrass and jute into place.

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.
