A basket that feels like it belongs. The soft grey weave catches morning light through cottage windows, sturdy enough for market trips yet gentle enough to rest by the hearth. Kubu rattan ages beautifully, each trip adding quiet character. The kind of piece that earns its place in your daily rhythm.
Product Story
∨
There's something quietly reassuring about a basket that knows its purpose. The Firs is woven from sustainable Kubu rattan in Indonesia, where artisans have perfected the craft over generations.
The grey finish comes from smoking the rattan over open fires, a traditional technique that deepens the fibres and adds natural resilience. This isn't a basket that demands attention, it simply settles into your routine.
Market mornings, fireside log storage, a home for throws by the sofa. The straight sides and reinforced handle speak to practicality, while the tight weave and soft patina speak to time well spent. Named after Elgar's birthplace in Lower Broadheath, it carries the same understated heritage and Malvern countryside spirit.

Frequently Asked Questions
›
Q: Is this basket suitable for outdoor use?
A: Yes, Kubu rattan is naturally weather-resistant, though we recommend storing indoors when not in use to preserve the finish.
Q: How much weight can it carry?
A: The reinforced handle and tight weave support substantial loads – ideal for weekly shopping, logs, or bulky storage items.
Q: Will the grey colour fade over time?
A: The grey finish is smoke-treated into the fibres and develops a gentle patina with age, adding character rather than fading.
Q: Can I use this as a log basket?
A: Absolutely. The straight sides and generous size make it perfect for fireside log storage or kindling.
Q: Is this basket handmade?
A: Yes, each basket is expertly handwoven by artisans in Indonesia using traditional techniques passed down through generations.
