Mixed Weave Natural Planter Basket - Medium

A basket that lets the plant do the talking.

Some planters compete with what's inside them — bold color, busy pattern, more basket than plant. This one steps back. Handwoven by a women's collective in Ghana, the mixed lattice weave is open and textural, natural and a little architectural at once.

At 13" in diameter and 15" tall, it's sized to slip over a standard nursery pot rather than forcing a specific plant size — slide the pot in and let the natural grass fiber edge do the styling.

An Open Weave, On Purpose

Unlike the tighter coiled weave of a Bolga basket, this one uses a mixed lattice pattern that leaves visible gaps between the fibers. That openness is deliberate — it keeps the basket light and airy-looking rather than dense, which suits a planter meant to sit next to furniture rather than dominate a room.

Keeping Its Shape

Elephant grass holds up well to regular handling — wipe down with a damp cloth as needed, and keep it away from standing water so the weave stays tight. If you're using it as a planter, a plastic liner or the nursery pot itself should catch any drainage.

Product Details

13" diameter x 15" tall. Mixed lattice-weave elephant grass. Handwoven by a women's collective in Ghana. Also available in a tall size for floor plants. Each piece varies slightly since it's made by hand.

Ideal For

Tabletop or side-table plants that need a basket sized to an actual nursery pot, not a guess. Anyone who prefers an open, textural weave over a dense coiled one. This Fair Trade piece comes through Powered by People (a certified B Corp), the wholesale platform that connects Made Brave with independent maker-brands rather than mass manufacturers — in this case, a women's weaving collective in Ghana. Buying it supports that sourcing relationship, not just a design.

A basket that knows its job is to frame the plant, not compete with it.
