Kottan Basket – Black Natural / Palm Leaf / IND 330912　インド/パームリーフ　Kottan Basket　Black Natural　S・M・L　3サイズ　ルイ版


							



These are lidded baskets made from palm leaves.
It comes in three sizes: Small, Medium, and Large.






The basket has a gently puffed rectangular shape, and is made from a flexible natural material.




The body of the basket is handwoven from natural and black-dyed palm leaves. The black color is achieved by dyeing the palm leaves with chemical dye.


The weaving features a distinctive pattern of small triangles.




The lid is designed to be placed over the basket base. Since the lid fits quite deeply, the height can be slightly adjusted depending on how you close it.


Of course, the lid and the basket base can also be used separately for different purposes.


If you press the lid down too firmly, it may become hard to open—so a gentle closure at a mid-point tends to work best.


Here is the underside of the basket. Since the basket itself is soft and the base is not reinforced, it is not suitable for carrying heavy items—doing so may lead to damage.


When lifting the basket with items inside, please support the bottom with both hands.


In some areas, you may notice thin strips slightly protruding along the rim—these are the core materials of the basket. They may gradually emerge with use, but if noticeable, you can gently press them back with your finger.


Now, let us introduce each size.


This is the Small size.


Perfect for keeping small personal items such as accessories, glasses, sunglasses, or watches. It can also be used as a stationery holder.




Or, place tea strainers and tea leaves inside to create a tea set basket.


Here is the Medium size.


It works well as a basket for makeup items, and could also serve nicely as a sewing box.






And this is the Large size.


It’s great for storing towels, handkerchiefs, socks, or underwear.




It also works well as a stationery box for notebooks and pens.








When the palm leaf catches the light, it gives off a soft, natural glow with a gentle sheen
—bringing a quiet elegance to the piece.


Soft and flexible to the touch, it has a gentle, pleasant feel in the hands.
The calm combination of natural cream and black tones blends seamlessly into any space.


Please choose the size that best suits your needs.




— Basket named “Kottan” —


Baskets made from palm leaves have traditionally been crafted in Chettinad,
a region in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu.


They were originally used as vessels to carry offerings or gifts during rituals,
and were often given to friends and guests as a sign of invitation or agreement.


Though the craft once came close to disappearing,
it has been revived through the efforts of local people and nonprofit organizations.
Today, the income from these baskets provides an additional source of earnings for women working in agriculture.


This particular Kottan series features original designs by Suno & Morrison, a brand based in Japan.


Each basket is developed in close collaboration with the artisans
—adjusting size, weaving techniques, and color combinations together.
