Palm Leaves and their properties
In order to be able to produce a palm basket, a craftsman needs palm fronds or wicker of a date palm, which resembles the feathers in its external appearance.
A large basket requires an average of 120 to 240 of these palm leaves, which are air-dried before processing. This fades the natural green color and in turn makes the leaves fine and robust.
After drying, the basket can finally be woven. So that the leaves remain deformable, they are immersed in the water for a certain time. In the end, the manufacturer cuts off the remaining leaves and checks the strength of the baskets.
