bamboo basket




The baskets in Tăng Tiến commune are made by weaving bamboo into a flat piece; the final shape is then made by pushing the woven bamboo square over a ‘mould’ and putting a circle also made of bamboo around it to keep the shape. The extra bits are then trimmed off and the circle is then sewn into place.
