Choosing the right wicker

The first step in creating wicker baskets and bags is choosing the right raw material. Craftsmen look for wicker of the right thickness and flexibility, which will allow easy forming and finishing of the final product. On our website you will find a variety of wicker products, such as the Ladybag Wicker Basket no.6 basket inspired by the famous accessory that Jane Birkin never parted with, or the classic wicker bag Ladybag Wickerbasket no.1 , which meet the highest standards of quality and aesthetics.
Each of our wicker baskets is handmade in Poland. Each is unique. Many of them are the basis of our handbags, which are complemented by leather accessories.

Preparing and forming the basket

The next step in basket production is to prepare the wicker for shaping. The raw shoots are soaked in water to make them more flexible and easier to work with. The craftsmen then hand-shape the wicker using traditional tools and techniques to create the structure of the basket or bag. Each bent shoot is carefully placed next to the other, creating a solid base for further work.

Braiding and patterns

The weave is the heart of every wicker basket . Artisans use different weaving techniques, such as spiral weave, lattice weave, and loom weave, to create unique patterns and textures. The baskets and bags available at RobotyReczne.com are hand-woven by experienced artisans, who create beautiful designs, such as the barrel-shaped base of the Bella bag, or the openwork wicker basket Francesca .
