Product Information

Product Information: Rattan and Grass Baskets

At Basketly, we are committed to providing high-quality, eco-friendly baskets that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. This product information page is designed to give you an overview of our rattan and grass basket collections, while also ensuring compliance with South African consumer protection laws.

Product Descriptions

Rattan Baskets

 Our rattan baskets are crafted from natural rattan fibers, which are sustainably sourced. They are durable, lightweight, and perfect for both decorative and practical use. Each basket is handmade, meaning that no two items are exactly alike. Slight variations in color, texture, and size may occur, adding to the unique character of each piece.

Grass Baskets

Our grass baskets are woven from natural grasses, including materials like ilala palm and other locally sourced fibers. These baskets are handwoven by skilled artisans, often using traditional weaving techniques passed down through generations. As with our rattan baskets, each piece may have slight variations in size, shape, or colour.

Usage and Care

Rattan and Grass Care

To maintain the longevity of your basket, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or excessive moisture, which can weaken the natural fibers. For cleaning, gently dust or wipe with a damp cloth and allow the basket to air dry.

Indoor/Outdoor Use

While our baskets can be used both indoors and outdoors, they should not be left exposed to the elements for extended periods, as weather conditions can cause wear and tear.

Legal Information & Consumer Protection

In line with South African consumer protection laws, Basketly takes responsibility for the following:

We are committed to providing products that are free from material defects and meet the quality standards set by the Consumer Protection Act of 2008 (CPA). Should any defects arise within the first six months of purchase, customers are entitled to a replacement or refund, provided that the product has not been misused or damaged through improper care.

Returns and Refunds

 In compliance with the CPA, customers may return goods within 14 days of receipt if they are not satisfied with the product. However, returns must comply with our return policy, which requires the product to be unused, in its original packaging, and accompanied by proof of purchase.

Variations in Handmade Products 

Due to the handmade nature of our products, slight variations in size, shape, and color are inherent. These variations are not considered defects but rather unique qualities of the craft. Customers acknowledge these differences when purchasing handmade items.
