Handwoven Natural Palmyra Leaf Basket

Crafted by tradition. Reusable. Made for everyday life.

Handwoven from natural Palmyra leaves using traditional weaving techniques, the Panaco Palmyra Basket brings together timeless craftsmanship and practical everyday design.

Weighing just 260 grams, this lightweight yet sturdy basket features comfortable handles and a spacious woven structure, making it ideal for grocery shopping, fresh fruits and vegetables, farmers' market trips, picnics and home use.

The flat base is firmly woven with Palmyra leaves and their natural midribs, giving the basket a stable foundation that helps it sit securely without easily tipping over. The handles are also woven with leaves and midribs, providing strength and a comfortable grip for carrying. The same leaf-and-midrib weaving continues through sections of the sides to help the basket hold its shape and provide strength.

Each basket is carefully handcrafted by skilled artisans, giving every piece its own texture, weave and character. Small variations in colour and pattern are a natural part of the handmade process, making every basket unique.

The Journey of Your Palmyra Handcraft

Sourced & Traditionally Harvested

The journey begins high above the ground, where traditional tree climbers ascend to the top of Palmyra trees—often up to 30 metres tall—to select and cut mature fronds. This challenging and seasonal work requires deep experience and courage, especially during windy or rainy conditions. Only carefully selected leaves are gathered. This sustainable practice actually encourages the tree to grow back healthier, while providing us with the strongest, most flexible material to work with.

Naturally Prepared & Sun-Dried

After harvesting, the fronds are meticulously cleaned. Depending on the craft, they are either gently split into strong strips for weaving or flattened under pressure to achieve a smooth, even surface. They are then naturally sun-dried and cured using traditional methods to preserve their innate strength and character. Absolutely no harsh chemicals, dyes, or artificial treatments are used, ensuring the fibers remain durable and completely natural before reaching the artisan's hands.

Using skills passed down through generations, local women artisans transform these natural materials entirely by hand into a diverse collection of beautiful creations, crafting everything from home decor and storage solutions to personal accessories and natural stationery. Showcasing the leaf's unique grain and natural beauty, every piece is lightweight, water-resistant, and eco-friendly. Because they are handcrafted, no two items are exactly alike, making each creation truly authentic and memorable. Every piece you choose helps support their families, uplift their communities, and keep this rich tradition alive.
