amuco Rattan Bamboo Handle Basket - A handmade craft found in Thailand that blends seamlessly into everyday life
The "amuco" series of handmade baskets, discovered in Thailand, is recommended for those who would like to incorporate everyday items that connect them to somewhere in the world into their lives.
Not only can it be used easily for storage or when going out, but incorporating one into your daily life will bring a touch of exoticism and make you feel as if the world has suddenly expanded. Such small changes will bring a comfortable space into your daily life.
Thailand, where we purchased our products, is located in Southeast Asia and is a country with a rich natural environment and a long history. It is rich in tropical natural materials, and rattan and bamboo have long been used in a wide range of household items, furniture, bags, and other handicrafts. Their lightweight and durable bags are popular for shopping and outings.
Highly decorative and deep enough to easily store items
The "Rattan Bamboo Handle Basket" is a warm, one-of-a-kind item, carefully woven one by one by local artisans. Lightweight, durable, and beautifully woven from rattan and bamboo, this basket makes the most of the natural texture of the materials. It breathes the art of craftsmanship rooted in everyday life and is a part of your everyday life.
The arched handle and detailed weaving are beautiful, creating a picturesque atmosphere just by placing it.
The wooden legs at the bottom increase stability and breathability. In the kitchen, it can be used to store fruits, vegetables, and other room-temperature foods.
The bottom is partially flat, allowing for ample storage. It also has enough depth to hide everyday tools and glasses while still allowing easy access.
Also great as an accent in your room
Its beautiful appearance shows that it has been carefully crafted, and just having it there will add a gentle accent to your room's interior.
In addition to being used as a display storage unit, it is also recommended to use it as a display fixture.
A high-quality appearance created by the beauty of the weave and color
The body is made of woven rattan and bamboo and has a deep color, while the sides are decorated with diagonally intersecting three-dimensional ornaments that create powerful and beautiful shadows.
The two handles are also double-braided for easy grip and durability, and have a smooth, comfortable feel.
The base is made of cross-shaped wooden pieces, which minimizes the contact area with the floor and also helps with ventilation and moisture control.
The surface is smooth and silky to the touch, while the inside has the texture of natural materials, giving it a rustic feel. The more you use it, the more it develops its character.
*Please be careful when putting cloth items in the bag as they may get caught on the fibers.

If you're looking for storage with ample capacity, we also recommend the Stock Basket and Market Bag. The Market Bag in particular, although it's called a "bag," is tall and provides just enough concealment to hide the contents, making it perfect for organizing small everyday items. It also looks great in the entryway or living room.
