Calarel Tan/Red 17 in. Basket

Jute is a highly durable and eco-friendly natural fiber, prized for its strength and distinct textured appearance. This basket is handmade from 100% jute, making it a robust choice for daily storage while adding an organic, artisanal feel to your decor. The hand-stitched finish further ensures that the structure remains resilient, even when used for heavier items like magazines or children's toys.

With dimensions of 17"W x 17"D x 17"H, this basket is ideally scaled to serve as a versatile floor accent. Its square-like proportions make it deep enough to conceal bulky items like plush throw blankets or pillows, yet it remains compact enough to fit neatly beside a sofa or in the corner of a nursery.

Yes, each basket is a unique piece of functional art. Because they are handmade and hand-stitched, you may notice slight variations in the color, shape, and size. These "marks of the maker" are not defects but rather hallmarks of authentic craftsmanship that distinguish high-quality, artisanal products from mass-produced alternatives.

To maintain the integrity of the natural jute fibers, we recommend regular light maintenance. Occasionally vacuuming the basket with a brush attachment will remove dust from the weave. For spills, spot clean immediately with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild detergent, but avoid soaking the material. Keeping the basket in a dry, indoor environment will prevent the natural fibers from weakening or developing odors over time.

This basket is an excellent choice for adding a bohemian touch to your indoor greenery. However, because natural jute is a porous fiber that can be sensitive to moisture, we strongly recommend using a waterproof plastic liner or a saucer inside the basket. This prevents water from seeping into the fibers, ensuring the basket remains clean and free from mildew.

Absolutely. In smaller urban homes where square footage is at a premium, vertical and smart storage is essential. This 17-inch basket provides a significant amount of storage volume without taking up a large footprint. Its stylish red and tan striped design also allows it to serve as a decorative accent, eliminating the need for extra furniture that might clutter a small room.
