The Cala baskets embody a distinct natural aesthetic, blending traditional craftsmanship with a contemporary decorative sensibility. Their openwork weave with large meshes reveals the textural richness of water hyacinth, a plant fiber with warm caramel tones that lighten slightly over time when exposed to natural light. The rounded handle in woven rattan, positioned in the center of the upper edge, structures the silhouette while serving as a hanging element. As each basket is handmade, slight variations in weaving and shade between pieces are the hallmark of authentic artisanal craftsmanship.

Cala baskets are entirely made of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes), a fast-growing aquatic plant harvested and dried before being hand-woven. This natural and renewable material offers excellent mechanical resistance for common decorative use. The openwork weaving is done using a cross-weaving technique, alternating twisted strands and vertical uprights to form a regular and clearly defined geometric pattern. The variation in shade between the fibers — from pale beige to golden brown — is inherent in the nature of the material and contributes to the visual richness of each piece.

To preserve the beauty and durability of Cala baskets over time, a few simple precautions are necessary. Avoid prolonged exposure to humidity or direct water splashes — water hyacinth, though resistant, can deform if immersed. Dust regularly with a dry cloth or soft brush. For slight soiling, a slightly damp cloth is sufficient, followed by air drying in a well-ventilated area. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which could gradually discolour the fibers. Preferably store in a dry indoor space, away from excessive ambient humidity.
