Basket making or basket weaving represents one of the oldest known traditional hand-made crafts in Mexico. There are various fibers to which baskets can be woven from such as reeds, grasses, cane and palm fibers. Palm fibers are a popular choice for basket making. Our Mexican Palm Baskets are made by hand in much the same way as they have been made for centuries.
The baskets are made by two different groups of Indian families, the Otomi and the Nahuatl. The Nathuatl Indians are decendants of the Aztecs. Each basket takes about two to three hours to produce, and usually two or three per day are made per person. These exact baskets have been made for at least for 75 years in Mexico.
Our handmade baskets are made from palm leaf and grass. The palm baskets are beautifully crafted, as well as highly functional. These multi-colored baskets will add a festive touch and bring tradition into your Mexican or Southwestern home decor. By adding Mexican baskets to your home decor, you are also bringing a rich piece of cultural history into your life as well!
