How to care for handwoven baskets
1. Store the handwoven baskets in a dry, ventilated place to protect their shape and prevent mildew.
2.Natural fibre baskets, like woven Bolga baskets, benefit from occasional reshaping with a light misting; gently mold by hand and let air-dry fully.
3.For woven basket maintenance, avoid prolonged direct sunlight and excessive moisture, which can weaken fibres over time.
4.To clean woven baskets, dust regularly with a soft brush or dry cloth, and spot clean gently with a damp cloth when needed.
5.Do not overload handwoven baskets, as excess weight can distort weaving.

Sizing Guide for Handwoven Baskets
Nokupa baskets come in multiple sizes and each one is handwoven, meaning dimensions may vary by 2–4cm from the measurements listed. To choose the right size:
- Small — ideal for shelves, bathroom surfaces, entryways and small item storage
- Medium — perfect for floor placement, blanket storage and everyday room organisation
- Large — designed for carrying, deep storage and statement floor pieces
All measurements listed (H and W) are taken at the widest point without handles. Handle height is listed separately where applicable. If you are unsure between two sizes, we recommend sizing up — a larger basket is always more versatile.
