Micaela Basket
Description
The Micaela Basket features a variety of delicate raffia stitches on coils of pine needles and pajón, a native grass that grows in the highlands of Guatemala. The central circle transitions to a square basket thanks to open corners. Indigo blue raffia and pine needles accent the lovely design, which is both decorative and entirely functional.
