Recycled Paper Basket

We've been going through the products samples we have received in the last few days. We are all super excited to see the products first-hand and can't wait to get them to you. That's why we'll be putting out some of the pictures for you to see and get a feel for what kind of products and experiences we're preparing for you.


One of our favourite ones are the recycled paper baskets. Made from old newspapers, the paper is rolled in and then "woven" to create these baskets. In terms of look and feel, they look similar to the cane baskets...just a bit more cooler... :-) The basket will be available in three sizes - small, medium, and large (the one above is the large size).

The basket will be available in colours including red, orange, and blue. There is also a natural (uncoloured as the newspaper itself) version available.The colours used for the basket are essentially non-toxic inks (similar to those used in childrens' comics). 

The great thing is that these sturdy baskets are very much multi-purpose - for example, as waste paper bins, or as magazine/newspaper holders (as shown in the picture), or to hold all your craft material - pretty much anything and everything, which is not wet.

What do you think? Let us know...and stay tuned for more product previews.
