Bags and Wicker Baskets
We buy these from several
carefully chosen suppliers. I have taken the information below
from one of their websites
Wicker
All of our wicker products come from China and are
made from steamed willow. Willow is a sustainable plant that is
grown and cropped bi-annually. The cultivation of willow and the
basic production of wicker products is organised by villages located
within the willow growing areas. The production of willow related
products is the villager's main source of income. The villages all
work in co-operation with a larger central finishing factory which
they supply with their part finished wicker products. The factory is
responsible for taking orders, organising production in the villages
and then assembling/finishing the goods before packing into
containers. Traditionally, our darker willow products have been
finished using a stain/varnish to achieve the colour. Whilst the
stain/varnish is perfectly safe, we feel the product has a very
natural feel and we have found a way of achieving the dark colour by
boiling the willow for five hours and then sealing with a water
based sealant. All dark wicker products will move over to this
method of production as stocks diminish. By 2008 no artificial
stains will be used.
