Rif Stripe Basket

Bold and sculptural, the Rif Stripe Basket reimagines traditional Moroccan basketry through a contemporary lens. Its deep, rounded body is hand-painted in striking vertical stripes inspired by the textiles of the Rif Mountains. A braided handle arches over the opening, wrapped in black beads and adorned with a hand-tied fringe that adds movement and rhythm. Whether used as a functional vessel or a decorative centerpiece, this handmade Moroccan basket makes a grounded yet graphic impression.

Crafted in Morocco using a composite blend chosen for strength and visual weight, this piece balances tactile texture with refined detail. Each stripe is applied by hand in matte black strokes over a soft, white base. The handle is adorned with hand-braided cord, polished black beads, and layered fringe—each element assembled by skilled artisans.

The Rif Stripe Basket draws inspiration from the striking visual traditions of Morocco’s northern regions, where bold patterns are part of everyday life, from woven fabrics to architectural motifs. The artisans who create this piece come from a lineage of makers who specialize in textile arts and ceremonial crafts. Each basket represents not only a decorative object but a reinterpretation of regional traditions told through a modern silhouette.

At JJUIN, we mentor artisans through every stage of the creative process—helping refine their techniques, elevate their designs, and choose the highest quality materials to meet Western luxury standards. We also guide them through essential business skills, including meeting deadlines, managing day-to-day client communication, and navigating client expectations. This ensures that every piece reflects the highest level of artistry while preserving the cultural essence that makes it meaningful.

Each Rif Stripe Basket is individually handcrafted and offered in limited quantities. No two are alike—every curve, brushstroke, and embellishment is the result of human hands, intention, and tradition.

For indoor use, this piece is as functional as it is expressive. Its deep, rounded form works well on entry tables, open shelving, or kitchen islands—as a statement bowl, vessel, or accent object. The braided handle adds height and texture, while the painted surface offers a focal contrast in neutral or stone-toned spaces.

Notes for Design Professionals: Ideal for boutique hotel suites, gallery-inspired interiors, and curated retail concepts. The monochrome finish and tactile details pair seamlessly with ceramic, stone, or natural wood. Use it to soften hard edges or bring subtle ornamentation to a minimalist setting.

Wipe gently with a dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid exposure to moisture or direct sunlight. Do not use chemical cleaners.

Every JJUIN piece is handcrafted by artisans, making each home decor item truly one-of-a-kind in shape, tone, and character.
