The Enduring Appeal of Natural Wicker!

Have you ever received a wicker basket filled to overflowing, with a myriad of fabulous gifts, you 'd never think of buying. It's a real treat!

Polmac Wicker Baskets

Although wicker is seen as a traditional material, high quality wicker baskets are still very much in demand and popular. Many people like the light brown colour, which reminds them of something natural, or maybe of wood.

Wickers popularity can be attributed in part, to its ongoing use. When you send a wicker basket to someone, you're really sending them two gifts for the price of one!
                                                               
Wicker is an environmentally sustainable shrub and is the perfect cash crop, which is great news for the environment! It also directly contributes to the community where it's grown.

Polmac Wicker Baskets

Polmac wicker used for baskets, is sourced in Poland from managed crops. It's essentially an indigenous plant in Poland and has been grown there for centuries, although it originally came from China.
                                                              
Wicker is a very fast growing plant, unlike a traditional willow tree. It's grown in the Autumn and is cut back each season, making it an environmentally sustainable product.

The smooth, shiny varnished effect you often see, is produced by a boiling process, which is a more natural production process. 

However, colours can also be applied to wicker, for a more personalized effect. A dark brown, coloured wicker basket for example, can look more stylish!

Polmac supplies a range of natural, wicker baskets, that are custom-made to order, to our customers exact requirements. 

Polmac wicker baskets are then despatched to to our customers, who fill them with a range of wonderful products, including for health and beauty gift sets!
