Surjo Lidded Baskets
Discover beauty with a purpose. Hand-woven in Bangladesh through the Blessing Basket Project® these lidded baskets feature coil weaving in which date palm is wrapped around sea grass then sewn to the layer beneath. Using this traditional method, it takes about 12 days to weave one basket, which reflects the unique style and artistry of the weaver. Artisans in the Blessing Basket Project receive a Prosperity Wage, which is at least 2.5 times the Fair Trade Wage, helping them provide for their families and invest in their own businesses. Every basket includes a tag with a photo and short biography of the artist, plus a unique code to learn more about that person. We’re proud to partner with the Blessing Basket Project to bring you these one-of-a-kind baskets.
