Wicker, Rattan and Bamboo Product Manufacturers in India
Assam and the other northeastern states have deep traditions in bamboo and cane, and craft clusters across India weave water hyacinth, kauna grass, sabai grass, palm leaf and seagrass.
We help homeware brands and retailers source woven natural products made largely by hand, and plan for the realities of craft supply: seasonal materials, artisan capacity and mould prevention.

Most woven natural products are made by artisans working at home or in small centres, coordinated by producer groups or exporters. Bamboo and cane are split, treated and woven; grasses and water hyacinth are dried and woven or coiled over frames. This gives character and sustainability appeal, but capacity is spread across many hands.
Materials
Bamboo and cane
Northeast India is the main source; strong and lightweight, treated against insects.Water hyacinth
A fast-growing water weed harvested and dried for baskets and decor.Grasses and leaves
Kauna, sabai, palm leaf and seagrass for baskets, mats and coasters.Customisation and private label
Sizes, weaves, colours, handles and liners can be adapted. Natural colour varies by harvest, so we approve colour ranges. Branding is usually on tags or packaging rather than the product.
Sampling and production process
02
Artisan samples
Samples from the producer group, adjusted for strength and finish.
03
Capacity plan
Quantities split across artisan groups with a coordinated timeline.
04
Treatment and drying
Anti-fungal treatment and drying to a safe moisture level.
05
Inspection
Weave, shape, size, moisture and mould checks before packing.
MOQ and lead-time considerations
Craft production scales by adding artisans, so large orders need longer lead times rather than higher minimums. Harvest seasons and monsoon humidity affect material supply and drying.

Compliance and biosecurity
Plant-product rules
Many countries inspect plant-based products; Australia's biosecurity system (BICON) has strict conditions and may require treatment certificates.Fumigation and treatment
Fumigation or heat-treatment certificates are often required for natural fibre goods and wooden packaging (ISPM 15).EUDR scope
Bamboo and rattan products are outside the EUDR 'wood' category under the 2026 scope update; check other materials used.Packaging and export logistics
Products are nested where possible to save container space, and packed with breathable wrapping and desiccants. Moisture checks before packing are the main defence against mould on long sea voyages.

How do you prevent mould on baskets?
Treatment, drying to a safe moisture level, moisture checks before packing, and breathable packaging with desiccants.
Are woven natural products made by hand?
Mostly yes, by artisans in producer groups. This affects capacity planning and variation.
