Watch how Filipino artisans transform wild seagrass, locally known as bangkuang, into handcrafted baskets! From harvesting to braiding to weaving, the entire process requires exceptional craftsmanship.
As part of our commitment to improving quality of life for the people we work with, west elm is funding education programs for Filipino artisans, beginning in 2015.
