What Is a Braided Basket?

A braided basket uses interwoven strands of fiber -- in this case polypropylene and nylon -- to create a sturdy, flexible container with a textured surface. The flat-braid construction distributes weight evenly, making it durable for high-traffic storage while the space-dyed technique yields unique color variation in every piece.

What You Get With the Rhody Rug Cypress Basket

1. High-Traffic Durability -- the 60% polypropylene / 40% nylon blend resists wear, stains, and everyday abrasion, suitable for busy living rooms or entryways.
2. Handcrafted American Quality -- each basket is handmade in the USA using Rhody Rug's strict yarn specifications and traditional flat-braid techniques.
3. Spacious 18 x 12 Inch Interior -- holds folded blankets, throw pillows, magazines, children's toys, or laundry with ease.
4. Easy-Clean Synthetic Fiber -- polypropylene wipes clean quickly, requiring minimal maintenance for long-lasting use.
5. Six Color Choices -- from neutral Dk. Taupe and Earth Beige to bold Brilliant Red and Marina Blue, the space-dyed multicolor pattern adds depth to any palette.
6. Unique Space-Dye Character -- the random yarn dyeing technique ensures no two baskets are exactly alike, giving each piece artisan individuality.
