The Country Jewel Braided Handmade Basket is woven by hand in the USA from polypropylene and nylon fibers that resist moisture, UV fade, and daily wear. This space-dyed Country Jewel Basket is available at Uptown Sebastian with free shipping. Each one is handmade using a flat-braid technique, so the color gradient is unique to your piece -- no two are identical.

How Is This Basket Actually Made?

It's handwoven using a flat-braid construction that interlaces yarn strands into a textured, durable vessel. The 65% nylon and 35% polypropylene blend is space-dyed before braiding, creating a multicolor finish that shifts across the surface. Because it's handcrafted in the USA, expect minor size variations (within ±3% of the listed dimensions) and slight dye-lot differences from batch to batch -- both are hallmarks of artisan production.

What Can You Choose on This Piece?

You can select from six space-dyed colors: Emerald, Bronze, Champagne, Peridot, Tawny Port, or Sapphire. Each color is a multicolor gradient, so the exact tone mix will vary from basket to basket. The 18x12-inch size and flat-braid construction are standard -- this basket is built to your chosen color and woven to order.

How Long Does It Take to Build?

This basket is made to order and takes 8-10 weeks to weave and ship. Because each one is handcrafted, the lead time allows for yarn dyeing, braiding, and quality checks before it leaves the workshop. It ships free to the continental USA once complete.

Where Should You Use a Woven Storage Basket?

Place it on open shelving in the living room alongside storage baskets, as a blanket holder beside your sofa, or on the bathroom floor for towel storage. Outdoors, it works on a covered porch or patio for cushions, pool towels, or garden tools -- the polypropylene construction tolerates sun and humidity without warping or fading. The 18x12-inch capacity holds two to four folded throw blankets, magazines, remote controls, or children's toys.

Can I return a made-to-order piece?

A size, finish or configuration shown as an option on this page can be returned within 30 days of delivery, subject to a 20% restocking fee -- whatever its build time. A specially requested size, or a piece made in your own material, is custom and is not returnable except on damage. Trade accounts have the restocking fee waived.
