Kata Fair Trade Jute Wall Hanging Basket

A sculptural jute pocket woven for the wall

The Kata Wall Hanging Basket gives the broad, rounded form of a floor basket an unexpected place on the wall. Braided jute rises from a narrow base and opens into a generous mouth, while the extended woven loop becomes part of the silhouette rather than a separate piece of hardware. Hung from a sturdy peg or hook, it offers depth, texture, and useful storage without occupying the floor.

Its natural coloring and visible braid suit the form particularly well. The basket can hold a trailing plant, a small collection of books, rolled textiles, or the loose objects that tend to gather near an entryway. At approximately sixteen inches tall, it is substantial enough to stand alone on a narrow wall while remaining practical for smaller rooms.

Jute Craft in Bangladesh

Regional Fiber Tradition: Jute has long been closely connected to the agricultural and craft traditions of Bangladesh, where the strong plant fiber is used for baskets, textiles, rope, and other household goods.
Fair Trade Production: The Kata Basket is sustainably handmade by Fair Trade artisans in Bangladesh.
Braided Construction: Rows of natural jute are braided and assembled into a tapered vessel with an integrated hanging loop. The construction gives the basket its texture while allowing it to retain a flexible, handmade shape.
Individual Character: Variations in the braid, dimensions, and natural coloring preserve evidence of the hands that formed each basket.

Form & Function

Tapered Profile: The basket measures approximately ten inches across at the base and widens to thirteen inches at the opening, creating a distinctive vessel-like shape.
Wall-Based Storage: Its hanging design makes use of vertical space in entryways, bedrooms, reading corners, and other areas where a floor basket may feel cumbersome.
Plant Display: The deep opening can accommodate a potted plant, allowing foliage to rise or trail from the woven form.
Everyday Collection: Books, magazines, rolled linens, scarves, or lightweight household essentials can remain accessible while becoming part of the display.
