User Guidance
To enjoy your basket for many years to come, please ensure you:
Wipe them with a slightly damp cloth to clean them.
Don’t machine wash (this would ruin your basket’s shape).
Don’t leave in direct sunlight (this preserves the beautiful colours for longer).
How the baskets are made
Lunditzi grass is harvested sustainably every year from the Eswatini mountains. The long grass is then dyed in a variety of non-toxic colours and expertly woven, using traditional Swazi plaiting techniques.
