Original Blessing Basket: The Design That Started It All

Heritage Weave, Timeless Shape

This classic Original Blessing Basket is proudly part of our Blessing Basket Collection, a curated line featuring some of the most beloved and enduring items we've offered over the years. As a tribute to our roots as The Blessing Basket Project®, this collection celebrates the tradition of artisan-crafted excellence.

This is the original Blessing Basket design that started it all. Handcrafted from durable, sustainably harvested sea grass, this classic basket is perfect for storage and organization, whether for mail, keys, or other small items. With its timeless style, it adds both function and charm to any space. Each basket takes about a day to create, reflecting the care and craftsmanship of our artisans. Each purchase supports artisans and their communities, preserving traditional craftsmanship and promoting sustainable livelihoods.

Ways to Fill It with Good

• Thoughtful Gift Carrier – Line with tissue, load with candles, teas, or baby items; recipient keeps a forever basket.
• Market Buddy – Perfect size for quick produce runs or flower foraging.
• Decorative Storage – Hold yarn, magazines, or rolled hand towels; the sculptural shape suits boho, farmhouse, or modern spaces.

PRODUCT CARE

• Shape Refresh: Submerge briefly in warm water, mold by hand, air-dry.
• Cleaning: Brush out dust; spot-clean straw with a damp cloth, avoid soaking leather.
• Sunlight: Rotate occasionally—extended direct sun may lighten dyed band.
• Leather: Condition handle with clear balm to keep it supple.

ARTISAN NOTES: Band color, weave tension, and leather tone vary slightly by maker, so every Blessing Basket is one of a kind. Looking for a specific accent hue or multiple quantities? Email support@tenbythree.org and we’ll match you with the closest options.
