amuco Two-Color Handle Basket - A handmade piece 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 "Bicolor 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, it is a basket that makes the most of the natural texture of the materials. It is a basket that breathes the art of craftsmanship rooted in daily life and will be a part of your daily life.
There are several types of patterns, such as diamonds and vertical/horizontal zigzags, and they are assorted so you cannot choose the pattern. We hope you will look forward to finding out which pattern you will receive.
The arched handle and detailed weaving are beautiful, creating a picturesque atmosphere just by placing it.
The bottom of the storage compartment is designed not to touch the ground, allowing for good ventilation. In the kitchen, it can be used to store and display room-temperature foods such as fruits, vegetables, and breakfast bread.
The bottom is very flat, so there is plenty of storage space. I was able to store two loaves of bread securely.
It is also deep enough that you can store everyday tools and glasses in it while still being able to easily access them.
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.
The beauty of utility created by knitting patterns
The body is woven from rattan and bamboo, and is made using a highly advanced technique called "pattern weaving," which creates patterns by alternating black and natural colored lines. One of its charms is the different geometric patterns created by the different weaving methods. Its angular shape also provides ample storage space.
The edges are sewn and even the parts that are not visible have beautiful knitting.
The bottom is decorated with a herringbone pattern made of diagonally arranged bamboo, and an X-shaped reinforcement member in the center ensures excellent strength.
The two handles are double-braided, making them comfortable to hold and highly durable. In addition, the center of the handle is decorated with herringbone-style braid, enhancing the overall design.
Rattan and bamboo baskets carefully woven by artisans, rooted in everyday life
We also have a large selection of baskets purchased in Thailand.
If you are looking for a similar bowl-shaped basket, we recommend the Rattan Bamboo Handle Basket or the Bamboo Handle Basket.
The Kohana Basket has a similar shape but no handles, so if you're using it on a shelf, we recommend it. It also has X-shaped wooden legs, so the key point is that they don't come into direct contact with the ground.

If you're looking for storage with ample capacity, we also recommend the Laundry 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.
