Care
You will receive your jute baskets folded. Please help them back into their shape by stuffing them with blankets or towels for a few days. This basket is robust and was made to last. Keep it in dry places. To maintain the original color be sure to keep it away from direct sunlight. We recommend vacuuming your basket or occasionally shaking it to remove dirt particles. Do not rub stains from your basket as this may spread the stain and loosen the jute fibers. Water-based spills should be blotted with kitchen paper or an absorbent cloth as soon as possible.
Meet the Makers
The Dharma Door has been commissioning the incredible skills of female artisans in remote, rural communities since 2004. Their ultimate goal is to genuinely empower as many people as possible out of the cycle of poverty. By working with not-for-profit NGOs on the ground and combining contemporary design, enduring quality and unfailing ethics, The Dharma Door creates products that tell a much bigger story than just the item itself. "The more we trade, the more artisans we are able to provide sustainable work for. Through this approach, we are able to achieve the greatest impact" Shannon Sheedy, Founder of The Dharma Door.
