Two-piece water hyacinth and willow basket set, mixed color organizing basket

This set includes two baskets woven from a blend of water hyacinth and wicker, featuring a mixed-color aesthetic (an interweaving of natural and light brown tones). The body of each basket is primarily constructed from water hyacinth stems, while the rim and handles are reinforced with wicker. The baskets feature integrated handles—handles that extend directly outward from the woven side walls of the basket body—creating a seamless, single-piece structure that is significantly sturdier than externally attached handles. These baskets are ideal for storing dry goods in a pantry, displaying decorative items on living room shelves, organizing small accessories in the bedroom, or holding hand soap bottles and towels in the bathroom. During the hand-weaving process, fine wire or a hemp rope core is threaded through the water hyacinth strands in the handle sections to enhance their tensile strength. The mixed-color appearance results from the natural color variations inherent in the different plant materials used.
