Brazilian Balaios (Baskets)

Authentic Brazilian Balaios (baskets) handmade by the Amazonian Baniwa and Yanomoni tribal artisans. Each basket is truly a piece of hand crafted art. These are NOT your ordinary wall decor baskets. What is pictured is want we currently have in stock. There are four sizes to select from in either black or red & black dyes. Please message us if you have a preference on which basket you would like.

You can purchase each piece individually or select from either a 3 or 5 basket set. If you would like a different set combination of three or more we offer a 10% discount. Please message us if you have a preference on which basket you want or if you would like to order a set for the discount.

Why buy indigenous handicrafts from Brazil?
By purchasing traceable indigenous handicrafts, you help to promote the “standing forest economy” through conscious consumption and transparent commercial relationships, stimulating income generation, valuing culture and keeping Forest Protectors in their territories.

The Fair Trade Seal
All the baskets have the Origens Brasil® - The Fair Trade Seal. Origens Brasil® is a network created to promote sustainable business across priority preservation areas in the Amazon region, with a guarantee of origin, transparency, traceability of the production chain and promoting ethical trade.

We recommend using a feather insert that is either the same size as the cover or if you want a fuller look you can go 1-2 inches larger than the cover. Feather inserts give a much nicer look and feel. If you prefer a more spongy feel you can use a polyester insert, but would stick with the same size insert as the cover. Hope that helps.
