{"product_id":"basket-reclaimed-fabric","title":"Classic Bowl Basket - Woven Chindi on Steel Frame","description":"These baskets have a hidden frame hand-welded from steel. Each basket is then woven with cords that have been made from torn fabric (\"chindi\") made from authentic Indian saris.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe baskets are made through a project that empowers women and teaches them new trades (like welding and small business practices) in India. These baskets use discarded fabrics from the Indian textile industry. By reusing discarded fabric remnants, the project helps reduce, reuse, and recycle while keeping the price of the raw materials inexpensive. That is why these works of art are so reasonably priced.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe absolutely love the colors, the texture, and usefulness of these unique baskets. The unique mix of sari patterns used yields distinct baskets, despite similar shapes and designs.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRound, bowl-shaped basket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-wrapped chindi around hand-welded frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction encourages financial independence in women\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSustainably sourced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach basket features a unique pattern of wrapping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e13.5\" diameter x 5\" tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #99cc00;\"\u003eThese baskets come in a wide range of colors.

For generations, this form of textile waste, torn strips of cloth, has been repurposed as colorful twine for tapestry or home products. The chindi used in our colorful baskets and bowls is from upcycled Sari fabric.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #99cc00;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"India Handicrafts Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40876630835357,"sku":"52087","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0429\/5209\/7949\/products\/71c4669a7e027aa5c49e5ecc47028f84_70f1ca06-5955-4fac-b195-497d600cdc96.jpg?v=1632692796","url":"https:\/\/astorenamedstuff.mom\/products\/basket-reclaimed-fabric","provider":"A STORE NAMED STUFF","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
