Woven Tenganan Basket – Second Quality

Intricate yet with an elegantly simple weave, the woven Tenganan basket makes a stunning and functional accent piece. They are perfect for storing magazines + accessories, as a centerpiece on a dining table, or as a fruit and vegetable basket on your kitchen counter!

This basket is handwoven in the village of Tenganan, Bali using natural Ata reed. The fast-growing Ata reed has to be separated into small, thin strands. Then skilled artisans intricately weave the strands into baskets, working on one basket for up to a month. Once fully woven, the baskets are boiled and left in the sun to dry for a week. Finally, to strengthen the weave, condition the fibers, and leave a natural finish, baskets are smoked over coconut shell clippings. A true dedication to craft to make these gorgeous baskets.

What are second quality pieces?

Seconds are pieces of furniture or accessories that don’t quite pass our rigorous quality control standards but are still structurally sound – they’re what we like to call nearly perfect. Some examples of imperfections are marks and scuffs, scratches on leather, or inconsistency in color. The best part? These pieces are offered from 20% – 50% off regular prices!

All seconds items are final sale. No coupon codes or trade discounts can be applied. Flat rate delivery will be available, or store pick up at our Mill Valley location (because we’d love to say hi!).
