Additional Details
- Measurements approximately 8x1.75 inches.
- Hand-woven using sweetgrass, palmetto, and pine needles.
- Handmade by a 6th Generation Gullah Weaver in 2025.
- Care Instructions: Preserve your basket for generations to come by using soft, damp cloth to remove dust and debris. It is recommended to use a liner for the baskets when placing objects inside, such as a linen, napkin, or light towel. The baskets are strong and woven tightly with locally dried grass and materials, and are best preserved when kept in dry areas to prevent damage. It is not recommended to wash your basket or leave in areas where it can easily get wet. Leaving the basket in the sun may cause them to change color over time, often darkening in color, but we believe this only adds to the beauty of the basket over time!

About Gullah Sweetgrass Baskets
Handcrafted in Charleston by Andrea Cayetano‑Jefferson, a sixth‑generation Gullah basket artist, these sweetgrass baskets are woven using traditional techniques with materials like sweetgrass, bulrush, pine needles, and palmetto fronds. The art form, passed down through generations from West Africa, serves as both a preservation of Gullah heritage and a living bridge between past and present.
