Flat-braided by hand in the United States using a nylon-polypropylene blend, this storage basket brings practical organization and multicolored tweed texture to any room. The Playtime Braided Handmade Basket is available at Uptown Sebastian with free shipping. Space-dyed yarns mean each piece carries its own unique character while offering reliable durability for blankets, toys, magazines, or laundry.

How Is This Basket Actually Built?

It's flat-braided entirely by hand using a continuous-strand technique that creates tight, sturdy walls and a base you can load without worry. The nylon-polypropylene blend resists wear in high-traffic areas and cleans up with a quick spot treatment. Because every basket is handmade in the USA, size can vary up to three percent from the listed dimensions, and dye lots shift slightly between production runs -- that's the trade for craft you can trace.

What Can You Choose on This Piece?

You pick the size and color, and your basket is built to order:

• Size: 10 in. W x 8 in. H, 14 in. W x 10 in. H, or 18 in. W x 12 in. H
• Color: SandBeige, Aqua Blue, Pink, Yellow, Violet, or Lime -- each a multicolored tweed pattern

How Long Does It Take to Build?

8-10 weeks, because it's braided by hand after you order. Once it ships, delivery is free to the continental USA. Uptown Sebastian backs every order with a 100% satisfaction guarantee -- you're buying American-made craft with the confidence it will arrive exactly as described.

Where Does a Handmade Basket Like This Fit Best?

Drop the 18-inch size on the living-room floor to corral throw blankets near the sofa, or tuck the 10-inch option onto open shelving in a nursery for small toys and board books. The multicolored tweed pairs beautifully with a basket collection grouped on a console table, or use a single mid-size basket alongside decorative bowls on a coffee table. In the bathroom, the 14-inch option neatly holds rolled towels on a vanity shelf.
