Savar Oval Basket Set of 3 | Seagrass + Jute | KORISSA
Savar Oval Basket Set of 3 — Handwoven in Bangladesh
A set of three low-profile oval baskets handwoven from seagrass with a natural jute accent rim. Shallow, open, and wide — a tray-style basket designed for surfaces rather than shelves. Natural brown seagrass body with a white jute border. Set includes Small, Medium, and Large.
Why This Basket, Not Another
Most natural fiber baskets are tall and cylindrical — designed for vertical storage. The Savar is deliberately low and wide, which makes it suited to a different set of uses: a bathroom counter, a kitchen surface, a coffee table, a bedside tray. The oval form fits naturally on rectangular surfaces without wasted space. The white jute rim gives it a clean, finished edge that reads as considered rather than purely functional. Three sizes in one set means a cohesive look across different surfaces in the same room — or across different rooms entirely.
Why Seagrass?
Seagrass is harvested from coastal wetlands and is one of the most rapidly renewable natural materials available — no pesticides, no irrigation, fully biodegradable. The woven seagrass body has a denser, more structured texture than jute, giving the basket a rigidity that holds its shape on flat surfaces without any synthetic reinforcement. The natural variation in color — from warm tan to deeper brown — is inherent to the material and gives each basket its own character.
Fair Trade Artisan-Made
Designed and curated by KORISSA, handwoven by Fair Trade artisans in Bangladesh. Fair wages, safe working conditions, community investment. Slight variations in weave density and rim detail are inherent to handcraft — each piece is one of a kind.
