Hello, I am a squished basket. This often happens in transport as I am the last basket of a row, at the bottom of a stack, squished into a corner or have a lot of weight on me. I am still extremely beautiful and functional. Love me as I am, or you are welcome to soak me in boiling water (I am fully waterproof) then stuff with towels to try bounce me back into shape a bit. Sometimes this works well or I may be quite stubborn. I hope you can appreciate my wonkiness as unique :)
In my particular case, I am only mildly squished on my handles and very slightly in my corners. This is not super noticeable and will likely even out with time and use. (already since shooting this basket it has reshaped itself a little and looks near perfect).

Each Pāli basket is individually handwoven in a remote village in Myanmar, from new pallet strapping made from recycled plastics. Plastics are collected by locals from streets and beaches, recycled into pellets, then made into rolls of new strapping.
The traditional Burmese weaving techniques have been passed down through generations. Every basket sold enables our ongoing support of the artisans, village families and local Burmese communities.
All baskets are fully recyclable at the end of their very long lives, please contact us for more information.
