Handmade in the USA from texturized polypropylene fiber, this flat-braided basket corrals blankets, magazines, and everyday clutter in 18x12-inch woven storage built to withstand wear. The Mayflower Braided Handmade Basket is available at Uptown Sebastian with free shipping. Choose from six traditional colorways -- Old Glory, Verdant / Spruce, Brown Fudge, Sangria, Natural Earth, or Forest Green -- and let space-dye variation give each piece one-of-a-kind character you won't find in mass-produced bins.
How Is This Basket Actually Built?
It's woven using the flat-braid technique, layering polypropylene strips in a coil that resists wear while flexing enough to handle daily use. Each basket is handcrafted individually in the USA, ensuring quality control and unique character in every piece. The texturized polypropylene fiber cleans with a damp cloth and dries quickly, making it practical for living rooms, bedrooms, and bathrooms where mess happens fast.
What Can You Choose on This Piece?
You select your color: Old Glory, Verdant / Spruce, Brown Fudge, Sangria, Natural Earth, or Forest Green. Because every basket is space-dyed by hand, random dyeing creates variation across the weave -- no two baskets look exactly alike, and tolerable dye-lot differences are expected. Size may vary by ±3% due to the handmade nature of the construction.
How Long Does It Take to Build?
This basket is made to order, with a confirmed lead time of 8-10 weeks from the day you place your order. Each piece is individually crafted to your color choice, then shipped free to your door anywhere in the continental USA. Because it's built for you rather than pulled from warehouse stock, you're investing in something made with care -- not churned out on a factory line.
Where Do You Use a Handmade Braided Basket?
Tuck it beside the sofa to hold folded throws and magazines, nest it on open bathroom shelving for rolled towels, or station it in the nursery for soft toys and board books. Layer it with other decorative baskets in varied sizes to build texture across the room, and it'll anchor the look while keeping everyday chaos out of sight. At 4.3 pounds, it stays put on floors and shelves but lifts easily when you need to move it room to room.
