Weaving Stories of Tradition & Sustainability

At The Little Basket, we believe that every handmade basket tells a story—a story of craftsmanship, sustainability, and tradition. Born during the challenges of the 2020 pandemic, our journey began with a simple idea: to bring the natural beauty and artistry of handwoven baskets from the North East of India, particularly Assam, to homes around the world. Today, in 2024, our journey has grown stronger as we partner with the NGO Dreaming the Dream to further support rural artisans, ensuring their livelihoods are sustained and their incredible craft is preserved.

Our baskets are more than just functional items; they are woven with care and precision by skilled hands that have mastered this art over generations. While most of our collections are sourced from the lush regions of Assam, we’ve also expanded to Vietnam for our exquisite bread baskets. Each piece reflects the essence of nature, handcrafted from natural materials and created with sustainability at heart.

With every basket you purchase, you are making a difference—preserving the age-old traditions of artisans, supporting their communities, and contributing to a greener planet.
