This beautiful basket is handwoven by the Meh Meri tribe, an indigenous minority of Peninsular Malaysia.
This basket is fully handmade -from cutting the pandan leaves, to dying it, to drying it and weaving it. There is no other identical basket as each is uniquely made one by one by master weavers. This is an exclusive product that you cannot find an exact replica anywhere else. Be the only one person in the world to own it.
Use this basket to hold your precious momento, or your stationary in your office. The matching lid will protect your items from dust and sun. You can even use it to store spices in your kitchen, placed beautifully on your counter.
Personally, because the colours are pink and red, I see myself using this as a gifting box for Christmas. An elegant little container to hold a special gift. This definitely feels more special and personal than a paper bag or wrapping paper. And the colour matches the Christmas decor so beautifully. I can see this placed under the Christmas tree, amongst the other gifts and standing out.
These baskets add so much more character, texture, depth and feel to my interior space. And they're just so lovely to look at!
Just how genuine leather forms patina, these baskets will have gradual change in colour, texture and overall appearance over time. This is one of the charms and appeal of the natural material, pandanus leaves that is weaved to make this one-of-a-kind basket.
