Calaisio Oval Breadbasket with Edging

Oval Breadbasket with Edging
by Calaisio

Oval Breadbasket with Edging is elegant, oval bread basket, handwoven by artisans who work and live in the South Pacific. Woven from a unique water wine, which only grow in the mountain jungles on remote islands in the South Pacific, this Calaisio bread basket is durable, heat resistant and elegant.

All Calaisio products are hand made by artisans, who reside and work in remote villages in the South Pacific. The vines they use to construct Calaisio items — called “vignes d’eau” or water-vines — only grow in remote mountain jungles and are very difficult to reach and challenging to harvest. However, once reaped, the vines grow back quickly, leaving no damage in their native forests. At a mere 3 millimeters in diameter — barely one-fourth as thick as typical rattan — the water-vine takes 1-7 days to hand-weave into a finished design but yields a substantially more durable, heat-resistant and elegant product.
