Beautiful and natural handmade fabric baskets to organize your modern space. They are perfect for gift-giving and ready to be filled with your favourite things.
Waxed cotton canvas was historically used by sailors beginning in the 15th century for sails, as well as for outdoor clothing. It is water-repellent and utilitarian, with natural beauty and character. The waxed finish will soften, and develop a beautiful patina over time.
Designed and individually handmade to order in our Vancouver studio, with thoughtfully sourced materials.

CARE:
*Wax is heat sensitive, take care not to expose it to extreme heat.
*Use a lint roller to remove any dust or surface dirt.
*Spot clean with a soft brush or cloth. Use a little mild soap (like Castille soap) and water if needed.
*Water may cause discolouration; a blow dryer will remove the marks
*Dry with a clean towel.
*DO NOT MACHINE WASH OR DRYCLEAN.
*DO NOT BLEACH, DO NOT TUMBLE DRY, DO NOT IRON.
*After some time and heavy use, you may wish to re-wax the canvas. You can do this with a bar of wax such as Otter Wax Heavy Duty Fabric Wax
There may be creases and lines in the wax, after the shipping process. To remove crease marks, or to stiffen the basket, you can use a blow dryer. Hold the basket in one hand, and blow dry in a circular motion for several minutes until the creases disappear. Let it cool down, and the wax will harden; reshape the basket as desired. If you would like to re-wax the basket, you can use a fabric wax of your choice.
