At Bali Basket Export, we offer an array of custom design options for our handcrafted Bali baskets. Buyers seeking unique and high-quality baskets for their businesses will find our products to be a perfect fit. Our baskets are sourced from renowned artisanal locations across Bali, ensuring each piece is crafted with precision and care. Our custom design service allows you to specify colours, sizes, and materials, making your order distinct and aligned with your brand.
Crafting Excellence in Ubud and Gianyar
The heart of Bali’s basket-making industry lies in the craft hubs of Ubud, Gianyar, and Sukawati. These regions are celebrated for their skilled artisans who have honed their craft over generations. Our baskets are primarily produced in these areas, ensuring a high standard of quality and authenticity. The materials used are predominantly natural, such as rattan and seagrass, which are favoured for their durability and aesthetic appeal. These materials are meticulously woven into diverse basket designs, each reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Bali. Our prices for small bags range from USD 7–10, while medium storage baskets are priced between USD 12–20, indicative of the quality and craftsmanship involved. Buyers are encouraged to confirm exact prices based on specific design and order quantities.
Custom Design Options
Our custom design service offers extensive options to tailor baskets to your specifications. You can choose from a variety of colours, sizes, shapes, and weaving patterns. This flexibility allows you to create a product that aligns with your brand’s identity and market needs. For instance, you might opt for a particular colour scheme that resonates with your target audience or a specific size that fits a particular use case. The minimum order quantity (MOQ) for custom designs typically starts at 50 pieces, but this can vary based on the complexity of the design and the materials used. Our team works closely with you to ensure that every detail meets your expectations, from the initial design concept to the final product.
Materials and Sustainability
We prioritise the use of sustainable and eco-friendly materials in our basket production. The primary materials include rattan, seagrass, water hyacinth, and pandanus. These natural fibres are not only durable but also environmentally friendly, aligning with global trends towards sustainable homewares. Our commitment to sustainability extends to our sourcing practices, ensuring that materials are obtained responsibly. This focus on eco-friendly production is a key aspect of our appeal to international buyers who prioritise sustainability in their purchasing decisions.

Production and Lead Times
Once an order is confirmed, the production and handling lead time for our handcrafted baskets typically ranges from 4 to 8 weeks. This timeframe is dependent on the order volume and complexity. Each basket is crafted by hand, a process that ensures high quality but requires significant time to complete. Our production facilities are equipped to handle large orders efficiently, but buyers should plan accordingly to accommodate these lead times. This ensures that the final product meets the high standards expected by our clients. For tailored orders, lead times may vary, so it’s advisable to discuss specific timelines with our team during the initial enquiry.
Logistics and Export Services
Exporting from Bali involves several logistical considerations. Our baskets, being bulky and often fragile, require careful packing to minimise shipping costs. We employ techniques such as nesting baskets inside one another to reduce shipment volume and lower freight costs. Our logistics partners are experienced in handling international shipments and can assist with necessary documentation, including fumigation certificates where required. Importers should be aware of their destination country’s import regulations on natural materials. Freight costs can be optimised by consolidating shipments with other home décor items.

Quality Assurance and Reliability
Our long-standing experience in the export business, dating back to the early 2000s, makes us a trusted partner for buyers worldwide. We are committed to quality assurance at every stage of production. Each basket undergoes rigorous quality checks to ensure consistency and reliability. Our factory-based approach allows us to maintain control over the production process, ensuring that each order meets the high standards we set. While we embrace digital communication channels like Instagram for showcasing products, we recommend in-person inspections to verify product quality and colour accuracy.
Market Positioning and Target Buyers
Bali baskets are positioned as high-margin import products for international retailers. Our target buyers include home decor retailers, furniture stores, online marketplaces, boutique hotels, and interior designers. These baskets are marketed as homeware and home decoration items, appealing to consumers seeking natural and sustainable products. Retailers can benefit from significant markups on these baskets, given their unique craftsmanship and eco-friendly appeal. Our competitive pricing and customisation options make our baskets an attractive proposition for businesses looking to enhance their product offerings with authentic Bali-made products.
