Handcrafted Bamboo Basket
Code : P13945

Production Origin: Produced in the state of Tripura, North-East India.
Artisanal Hub: Hand-crafted in the professional weaving centres of Agartala, where traditional basketry is modernized for domestic and export markets. 

Primary Body: Constructed from high-quality Muli Bamboo or Kanak Kaich bamboo, known for its superior finish and split-resistance.
Handle & Rim: Reinforced with thick, heat-bent Cane (Bet) or sturdy bamboo laths to ensure the basket can carry significant weight without warping.
Weaving Material: Uses flat, wide-shaved bamboo shives that provide a large surface area for colouring and structural stability.
Joinery: Fixed with traditional interlocking weaves and reinforced at stress points (like the handle base) with small, discreet bamboo pegs or pins. 

Ergonomic Dual-Handle Design: Features two high-arched handles designed for a comfortable grip and balanced weight distribution.
Checkerboard Weave: The tight, interlocking weave ensures there are no large gaps, making it suitable for carrying smaller items or groceries.
Lightweight Strength: Despite its solid appearance, the bamboo material makes the basket significantly lighter than plastic or wire alternatives. 

Bohemian Picnic & Utility: A versatile accessory that transitions from a functional market basket to a stylish home storage solution.
Eco-Conscious Living: 100% biodegradable and handcrafted, aligning with zero-waste lifestyle goals.
Vibrant Folk Aesthetic: Uses a bold colour palette typical of North-Eastern festive crafts. 

Hand-Dyed Splints: Each bamboo strip is individually dyed before weaving to ensure the colours are deep and uniform across the pattern.
Heat-Bent Arches: The handles are meticulously shaped using traditional fire-bending techniques to achieve a perfect, symmetrical curve.
Sanded Finish: All edges and surfaces are finely sanded to ensure a snag-free experience, protecting hands and delicate clothing. 

Evolution of the Dala: Inspired by the traditional Tripuri Dala or Tokri, redesigned with modern handles and vibrant colours for contemporary use.
Sustainable Craft Economy: Supports the local bamboo farmers and weavers of Agartala, keeping the Green Gold economy of Tripura thriving.
Heritage Patterns: The horizontal weaving pattern is a simplified version of the complex mats (Sitalpati) traditionally made in the region.
