Description
Handcrafted by skilled artisans in Bangladesh, the Vatra Basket is woven from natural seagrass using traditional techniques. Once harvested, the fibres are dried and twisted into rope before being worked by hand into its elongated, shallow form, with integrated woven handles providing a practical finishing detail.
The low sides make the contents easy to see and reach, while the richly textured weave gives the basket enough character to remain on display between uses. Natural variation runs through the seagrass itself, so subtle differences in colour, weave, texture, shape and dimensions are part of its handcrafted beauty and give every Vatra its own individual finish.

Styling Inspiration
Use the Vatra on a dining table filled with fresh bread, fruit or napkins, or place it on a kitchen island for everyday produce and serving essentials. Its shallow proportions also make it ideal for a coffee table or console, where books, candles and ceramics can be gathered into a simple, considered arrangement.
For entertaining, bring it directly to the table with bread rolls, pastries or other dry foods, allowing the woven texture to become part of the setting. Natural timber, linen, stoneware and clear glass pair particularly well with its warm seagrass tones, making the Vatra easy to layer into relaxed coastal, rustic, Scandinavian and contemporary interiors.
Care Instructions
Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth or use a vacuum with a brush attachment. For light marks or spills, wipe carefully with a slightly damp cloth and allow the basket to dry fully before use. Avoid soaking, excessive moisture and prolonged exposure to strong direct sunlight, which may affect the natural seagrass over time.
