Today's Prescription: Natural, woven accessories perfect for outdoor entertaining

We love bringing in new, interesting collections! One of our most recent additions by Calaisio is already a hot seller! Their timeless, durable collection is handmade by artisans in the South Pacific. According to their website: "The vines they use to construct [each piece] — called “vignes d’eau” or water-vines — only grow in remote mountain jungles and are very difficult to reach and challenging to harvest. However, once reaped, the vines grow back quickly, leaving no damage in their native forests. At a mere 3 millimeters in diameter — barely one-fourth as thick as typical rattan — the water-vine takes 1-7 days to hand-weave into a finished design but yields a substantially more durable, heat-resistant and elegant product."

While each piece is perfect for outdoor entertaining, don't hesitate to use these eco-conscious, natural, functional products inside as well. We are big fans of the square chip 'n dip and rectangular handled tray.

These are perfect house-warming and bridal shower gifts!
