Basket weaving is one of the oldest household crafts in India, and nearly every region has its own grasses, canes and patterns. Storage baskets still do jobs that a plastic box cannot, mainly because they let air move around what is inside.
In the kitchen, an open weave keeps onions, potatoes and garlic dry and sprouting slower. A lined roti basket keeps phulkas warm on the table, and a shallow fruit basket stops bananas bruising. Elsewhere, lidded baskets hide remote controls and chargers, and tall ones gather laundry or rolled yoga mats.
Choose a tight weave for small items and a loose one for produce. Natural fibre needs to stay dry, so wipe rather than wash, sun it now and then, and keep storage baskets off damp floors during the rains.
