Handcrafted Ghanaian Floor Bin: Oversized Order with Ethical Origins

From Field to Living Room

Skilled Ghanaian weavers gather elephant grass, soak, twist, and coil it into an extra-large cylinder that stands firm on the floor without sagging. Subtle, naturally dyed stripes break up the neutral base, while tight rows give the bin the strength to hold bulky blankets or a mountain of plush toys. Fair-trade wages keep traditional craft alive and channel steady income back to rural communities.

Tip: The faint grassy scent fades in a few days—proof you’re getting an untreated, all-natural fiber basket.

Built to Tidy—Anywhere

• Blanket & Pillow Corral - Park the bin next to the sofa for movie-night throws; its tall sides hide clutter yet keep items within reach. 
• Toy Tornado Tamer - Drop action figures, blocks, or stuffed animals straight in—no lids or clasps to slow cleanup.
• Entryway Catch-All - Stash shoes, umbrellas, or sports gear so the foyer stays welcoming, not chaotic.
   
  

Squared-off bottom keeps the bin upright, and neutral colors blend with coastal, modern, or rustic décor. Pair it with wooden benches or metal plant stands for a balanced mix of textures.

PRODUCT CARE

• Reshape: Submerge briefly in warm water, mold by hand, and air-dry with good airflow.
• Clean: Shake out debris; remove dust with a medium-stiff brush or damp cloth.
• Sunlight: Long exposure can fade natural and dyed fibers—rotate placement now and then.
• Weight Limit: Ideal for soft goods; avoid loading with heavy logs or exercise weights to maintain shape.
