Troubleshooting
Basket has a slight odor upon arrival.
This is normal for natural, hand-woven materials. Air out the basket in a well-ventilated area for a few days.
Woven strands are loose or uneven.
Minor variations are part of the hand-crafted nature. Gently tuck in any loose ends. If a strand is significantly loose, contact customer support.
Basket appears misshapen.
Gently reshape the basket by hand. If it's slightly compressed, filling it with soft items like blankets or plush toys for a while can help restore its form.
Color variations in the weaving.
This is inherent to natural materials like sea grass and water hyacinth. Embrace these variations as part of the unique, handmade charm.
