Oaxacan Palm Basket
$18.00
-
Our Oaxacan Palm Basket has been handmade by a family of artisan basket weavers in the Mixtec region of Southern Mexico.
The artisans use an entirely by-hand technique that has been passed down through many generations. First, they collect the palm leaves in the mountains that surround their village. They use the natural environment to their advantage, and lay each frond in the sun to dry for several days before it is ready to be cleaned with a knife. Palm from this area comes in several natural colors, but sometimes the artisans dye the leaves for brighter and vibrant styles.
Once the leaves are ready for weaving, the artisans use the dexterity of their fingers to weave and knot palm fronds into lightweight and flexible baskets. Each basket takes a few hours to complete, and artisans can make about three baskets a day.
Basket weaving is a way of life in this region, as it provides a sustainable source of income for artisans in remote villages surrounding Oaxaca city. These sturdy yet lightweight baskets are the perfect size for storing small toys, table linens, cosmetics or household tools.
-
This basket is 5.5" H x 5" W.
Our Oaxacan Palm Basket is a high quality handmade craft sourced directly from its maker. No two baskets are exactly the same. Minor imperfections may be visible that speak to the handmade process and tell the story of its creator, adding to the character and patina of each piece.
-
All of our products are handcrafted using the finest natural materials. To prevent loosening the shape or weave of the basket, we recommend handling it with care and spot cleaning when necessary.

Our adorable line of knit animals is made by hand in the Peruvian highlands by a Fair Trade women’s cooperative. Our partners provide the opportunity for artisans from farming communities to generate supplemental income by creating these cute and cuddly dolls. The organization also provides job training and technical support to grow their expertise, empowering the artisans for sustainable work.
Each precious animal has been knit, loomed, and embroidered by hand using locally sourced materials such as cotton and alpaca. After a prototype has been established by our partner’s master weaver and the Meridian development team, they share the pattern with the remote artisans in the Andes mountains. It takes about 2 full days on average to create one animal doll, which the women make using traditional knitting techniques that have been passed down through generations.
We use only the highest quality natural cotton yarns that have been hand-picked with our artisan team in Peru. Each knit animal is created with heirloom quality in mind; These safe and soft lovies will last a lifetime.

This stuffed bunny is 12" tall.

We recommend spot cleaning your knit animal to help preserve its shape and details. That said, as parents we’ve been there and sometimes you need a better laundering option. In those rare instances, try for a gentle hand wash and avoid overly submerging it in water. Lay flat to dry.
