Cotton Baskets That Make a Difference

Mecox Gardens is proud to offer a new product for 2012: Lovely and functional hand-made cotton baskets from India.



These baskets are the beautiful product of a dedicated group of weavers who have set up a self help group for women living below the poverty line in Karnatake, India. Using handspun dyed woven stitched cotton, banana and mesthea fiber, and leather, these gorgeous baskets are a wonderfully flexible storage solution. Bring one to the market, or give them a more permanent place in your home as storage for wood, magazines, or as laundry baskets.

We were touched by the projects incentive to enable impoverished Indian women to improve their lives while sharing their gorgeous craft. Cylindrical style features large leather handles, and bold striped patterns in an array of color combinations, most notably the always classic blue and white.

Available now online or at our Southampton, East Hampton, New York City and Los Angeles locations. Of course, you can always contact your local Mecox Gardens Emporium for more information and stock levels!
