Bags & Baskets

Crafted by Hand, Built for Everyday Life

Kalapuri's basket collection brings together handmade storage baskets crafted by skilled rural artisans. Each basket is handwoven from sturdy polypropylene (PP) strap, also known as packing patti — a durable woven plastic that is washable and easy to care for. The result is a lightweight storage basket that holds its shape and works hard in daily use.

Every basket is handwoven at Kala-Darpan, Kalapuri’s basketry centre in Soni village, where around 200 rural women have been trained in this craft. What began in a few homes is now a shared space where experienced artisans teach new learners.

A Basket for Every Corner of Your Home

From the kitchen to the bedroom, these multipurpose storage baskets fit naturally into any space. Use a grocery storage basket to organise your pantry. Keep linens tidy with a handwoven basket for linen storage. Place a decorative basket with a lid in your living room to reduce clutter without losing style. There's even a picnic basket with lid for outings and a sturdy market tote basket for daily errands. Whatever the need, there's a size and style here for it.

Colourful, Durable and Reusable

Each basket features vibrant colours and traditional weave patterns that add warmth to any room. The PP strap weave is reusable and long-lasting, so one basket serves you for years instead of a season. Whether you're looking for colourful storage baskets for home décor or simple home organisation baskets, the collection covers both without compromise.

Storage That Looks as Good as It Works

Good home organisation shouldn't mean hiding everything away. These woven baskets with lids keep things out of sight while still looking considered and intentional. They work as decorative storage baskets on open shelves, as reusable grocery baskets with lids in the kitchen, or simply as a thoughtful gift. Buy handwoven baskets online in India and bring a little artisan craft into your everyday spaces.
