Handwoven Basket with Handles

A carry basket woven with meaning, strength, and tradition. Our handwoven baskets with handles are crafted in the highland regions of Papua New Guinea, where basketry is both an art form and a daily necessity. Functional and beautiful, these baskets are perfect for everyday use—while carrying the legacy of the weavers who made them.

The Meaning Behind the Weave

Each basket is crafted using natural fibres harvested from native plants, woven fresh to allow for flexibility and strength. The patterns vary depending on the region and often represent traditional knowledge passed down through generations. Earthy tones are achieved through natural dyes, including traditional mud-dyeing methods, giving each piece a raw, grounded beauty that reflects the land itself.
