The Story Behind It

The Versatility of Abaca

Closely related to the banana plant, but oddly enough considered an herb, the abaca plant is an indigenous material of the Philippines often used to create everything from baskets and clothing to tea bags and banknotes. Abaca plants usually reach between 10 and 15 feet in height, and grow with great speed, making their fiber a terrific renewable resource - one of the reasons why we're big fans!

Abaca is perfectly suited to the construction of our artisanal handmade Madras Baskets, serving trays, drink coasters and more. To create these beautiful eco-conscious baskets, madras (the bark of the abaca plant) is harvested in long, flexible strips that range in color from light brown to nearly black. When woven into baskets, the color variation shows up with an almost marbled look, which gives each item its own unique look.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Star377 If you love these Madras baskets like I do. You will be very happy. There isn't much to say about these baskets other than buy them now, you can't go wrong. Very heavy made but not to heavy that it could fall and break your foot. Very sturdy made and these baskets look great in ever room. I put this one in my bathroom and its awesome. Gives my bath a very nice look that it was lacked before. I will buy more baskets from World Market again very soon. January 3, 2016

Rated 4 out of 5 by april28 Sturdy and Pretty Basket for Magazines I like the look and the durability of these madras wicker baskets. This one is a fairly good size and can fit approximately 20 magazines. This purchase is at a good price for the quality product that you receive. The only complaint is that the basket is not wide enough to put two stacks of magazines side by side. March 17, 2015
