Basket Care
Handling and Care
Our baskets are handwoven with care and are designed to last. To maintain their beauty and functionality, we recommend to follow these guidelines:
Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause the colours to fade.
Keep Dry: Avoid getting the baskets wet. If they do get wet, allow them to dry naturally in a shaded area.
Clean Gently: Use a dry or slightly damp cloth to wipe away dust and dirt. Do not use harsh chemicals or detergents.
Reshape When Needed: If your basket loses its shape, you can reshape it by lightly misting with water and gently molding it with your hands. Click on How to Reshape a Basket to learn more.
Leather Care
The handles of our baskets often come with leather wrapping. To care for the leather:
Keep Leather Dry: Avoid exposure to water. If the leather gets wet, blot it dry with a soft cloth.
Conditioning: Occasionally condition the leather with a suitable leather conditioner to keep it supple and prevent cracking.
Storage
Store baskets in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Do not stack heavy items on top of them to avoid deforming their shape.
