Mustard Jute Basket Bag - Namaste

A multi-purpose jute storage bag will help keep areas tidy, well-presented and fresh. Thanks to its natural strength and unique properties, the eco friendly organic fibre basket is a practical addition to the home.

Durable and hard-wearing, it offers a quick solution for collecting and storing toys or sorting items ready for recycling. Use it as an attractive way to collect laundry, with odours neutralised by its natural breathability. 

In addition to an attractive, traditionally handwoven design with contrasting colours of mustard, neutrals and patterned panels, it is easily manoeuvrable with two handles. Its functional design also makes it ideal for displaying other natural materials, such as wood kindling and logs, turning it into a striking feature in any space.

Known in India as the 'golden fibre' due to its appearance and exceptional properties, jute is a naturally fast-growing crop. The fibres come from the plants' stems. They are bundled, washed, and sun-dried, ready to be made into imaginative home furnishings and distinctive decor.

The Namaste Journey

In 1995, in search of some adventure, founder Sam Brummitt flew to Kathmandu, Nepal with a round-the-world ticket. After an inspirational trek to Mount Everest base camp, followed by 6 months circumnavigating the Indian Subcontinent on re-conditioned ex Indian Army Enfield Bullets and sleeping under the stars at the side of the road, the idea for the business slowly developed. Fuelled by a conversation one day in Rajasthan with the owner of a small textile business and now lifelong friend and a key supplier, Ganpat suggested Sam came back home and started a business.

Starting a business meant earning a living while putting something back into such a beautiful and wonderful part of the world and that’s exactly what happened. Namaste, translated as ‘I greet the spirit within you’ was founded in 1997.
