Handwoven Tall Basket

A handcrafted vessel for storage, story, and tradition. Our handwoven tall baskets are a celebration of Papua New Guinea’s (PNG) highland artistry—functional pieces infused with cultural meaning, created by skilled weavers using natural fibres and age-old techniques.

The Meaning Behind the Weave

These beautifully shaped baskets reflect traditional weaving methods specific to the regions where they’re made. Each basket is formed from native highland fibres—harvested fresh and woven while still supple—to achieve strength and shape. Dyed with natural materials including mud, the earthy hues honour the deep relationship between maker and environment. Once used to store small food items and ceremonial goods, today these baskets bring beauty and practicality to any space.
