Whether it's the spring time weather, a "stay at home" order, or maybe the full supermoon this month, lots of people are feeling the "urge to purge" lately, and with that comes organizing.
I'm not usually a big fan of purchasing "organization products" like racks, bins, or dividers. And while yes of course I do have some of those things and they come in handy, I like to use what I have first. The whole point of purging and organizing is to have less stuff right?!
But one organizing product I do love are baskets. They add a natural, and textural element to the space and many of them can be a focal art piece in themselves!
One of the coolest shops I've found for baskets is The Citizenry. They take a simple, natural approach to design and literally source their products from around the world. So when you purchase a basket from them you are getting an authentic handmade piece that a local artisan spent hours weaving. This results in a one of a kind, high quality piece for your home, AND its functional!
So without any further ado, here is a round up of my top 5 favorite baskets from The Citizenry right now. So start purging away, and grab one of these beauties to make organizing your simplified life a little more beautiful :)
The Cielo is by far my favorite. Yes it is pricey, but seriously... have you ever seen a basket like this?? <3
"A handwoven basket so stunning, you’ll find yourself wishing for clutter so you can add one to every room. Blending two types of natural fibers native to the region, this basket is durable, sturdy, and doubles as an art piece no matter where you style it.
The diamond pattern is eye-catching yet understated, taking a design cue from the weavers’ natural surroundings. And the shape is truly what makes you do a double take – it’s so uncommon and sculptural.
Handwoven by a group of 25 artisans in Guapi, Cauca, each basket is made start-to-finish in a fair trade environment."
Another super unique option that I have never seen before. Who said baskets had to be woven?
