Black Tasseled Belly Baskets - Elegance in Tradition

Vietnamese basket artists take immense pride in the craft that has been passed down through generations, shaping their culture and way of life. The Black Tasseled Belly Baskets are more than just functional pieces—they are a harmonious blend of tradition and modern design, meticulously crafted by the hands of skilled women artisans in Hanoi.

Each basket begins its journey with seagrass, a material that has been sustainably harvested from our coastal regions. This natural fiber, known for its durability and flexibility, is woven into form through hours of dedicated work, reflecting the patience and skill honed over lifetimes. The long, elegant black tassels are thoughtfully added, introducing a contemporary twist to the classic Vietnamese belly basket, making it a versatile piece that seamlessly fits into any modern home.

Whether used to store blankets, toys, or as a decorative plant holder, these baskets are designed with both beauty and practicality in mind. The medium basket (12"x12") is perfect for smaller spaces, while the large basket (16"x16") offers ample storage, and the set of both sizes provides a harmonious pairing that can be styled together or separately.

Each basket is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Vietnam, carrying with it the stories of the women who weave them—stories of resilience, creativity, and community. When you bring one of these baskets into your home, you are not only adding a touch of elegance but also supporting the preservation of an age-old craft that is as beautiful as it is functional.
