The sweet Margarita Basket is delicately handwoven from pajón, a native grass of the Guatemalan Highlands, and sustainably harvested longleaf pine needles. Designed and handmade by the women of Mayan Hands' El Triunfo cooperative, this basket is a wonderful tabletop accent, but was designed to be used!
