These baskets are hand woven from the strong Chaguar fiber, gathered by indigenous women in Argentina. After gathering the wild crop, they process the chaguar in a traditional method that includes many days of soaking the harvest, drying the fibers, then working them into a wearable texture by “spinning” them. Finally, they weave the beautiful basket bowls.
Our baskets are sustainable homewares and distinctive decorative pieces to add to your home and give personality to any space.

This is a quality handmade product made by Argentinian indigenous communities. It's hand-dyed and made with sustainable materials.
- Do not wet your bag or basket as these are woven with plant-based threads and could be damaged when getting wet.
Every Casapacha purchase supports sustainable design and fair pay for artisans.
The handwoven hat is beautifully crafted and fits well. It is a pleasure to wear and of excellent quality. I am happy that my proceeds go towards supporting the local community of women who made this product.
