Handwoven by Carmen in Chaco, northern Argentina, this simple, lightweight basket is easy to carry and perfectly sized for flowers, farmers market runs, or a couple of sourdough loaves.
Like many women in her community, Carmen harvests the small palm-like plant called carandillo, then gathers, separates, and prepares the fibers by hand before weaving each piece using ancestral techniques passed down through generations. These woven objects help support income and socio-economic development in this remote rural region while preserving Argentina’s rich craft traditions.
Carandillo fiber naturally varies in tones ranging from pale yellow to soft green, making each basket subtly unique.
Size: W 12” × D 8” × H 14” (9” body + 6” handles)
Color: Natural (undyed)
Material: 100% Carandillo fiber
