Banana Leaf Vases and Bins Set, 2 Each

Decorative vessels with everyday purpose, this banana leaf vase and bin set brings woven plant-fibre warmth into the corners that usually feel hard to soften. The tall pieces frame dried stems or stand beautifully on their own, while the smaller bins gather the little things that make a room feel busy.

Four woven pieces for calmer corners

• Two tall vases add height and texture to a shelf, hallway, bedroom corner or living-room display.
• Two smaller bins keep everyday pieces together, from toys and scarves to pantry items or bathroom cloths.
• The natural brown banana leaf is broken with dark charcoal bands, giving the set a grounded, graphic rhythm.
• The woven surface has gentle variation, with raised fibres and uneven tones that feel relaxed rather than polished.
• Used together, the pieces create a layered natural display. Split across rooms, they quietly tie a home together.

Banana leaf, handwoven in Java

Each piece is made from banana leaf, handwoven and dyed in Java, Indonesia. The weave has a coiled, wrapped look, with darker edging around the rims and irregular bands through the body. Small differences in tone and texture are part of the material’s character, especially with natural plant fibres.

Ways to use the set

Use the vases for dried grasses, bare branches or as sculptural floor pieces. The bins suit dry storage around the home: blankets, craft supplies, pantry packets, toys, spare cloths or anything you want close to hand but out of sight.

If using one as a plant pot cover, keep the plant in its nursery pot and add a saucer or liner inside. Banana leaf is a natural fibre, so it should be protected from standing water and damp soil.

Where they feel at home

The warm woven texture works especially well against wood, linen, stone, rattan and softly painted walls. Place one tall vase beside a console or reading chair, then use the bins nearby for practical storage that still feels considered.

Care for the woven fibre

Keep the set indoors and away from prolonged damp. Dust with a dry cloth or soft brush, and avoid soaking or scrubbing the weave. If a spill happens, blot gently and let the piece dry fully in open air.

Java craft and natural texture

Banana leaf weaving sits within a long craft culture in Java, where plant fibres are shaped into practical household objects as well as decorative pieces. This set carries that balance well: useful enough for daily organisation, but textural enough to change the feeling of a room. The dyed bands give the pieces a more contemporary edge while keeping the material honest, with the leaf’s natural creases, colour shifts and woven joins still visible.

Sizes and set details

The set includes four pieces: two small bins measuring 24.5 × 20 cm, one larger vase measuring 50 × 18 cm, and one smaller vase measuring 44 × 16 cm. The material is banana leaf, handwoven and dyed in Java, Indonesia.

A thoughtful home gift

A generous gift for someone settling into a new home, refreshing a living room, or trying to bring more natural texture into their space. It suits people who like practical storage, but do not want it to look purely functional.

Common questions

Can I put fresh flowers in the vases?
Use them for dried stems or as decorative vessels. If you want to display fresh flowers, place a separate watertight container inside.

Are the bins suitable for damp rooms?
They can be used in a bathroom for dry items, but banana leaf should be kept away from standing water and heavy moisture.

Will every piece look exactly the same?
No. Natural banana leaf and handwoven construction mean small variations in colour, weave and finish are expected.
