Collection: Drifter Bowls & Baskets

Drifter Baskets and Bowls began as a side hustle following the disruption of Covid-19 in 2020. Following the cancellation of several major markets and exhibitions venues during the early Covid-19 period, and with Christmas only weeks away, I needed to create a product that was unique, affordable, locally made and available for the online market. 

This product quickly became very popular and has continued as a micro business under the Studio NESS Banner. 

I have 3 types of rope I use in my baskets. Each basket is handmade (machined) and thoughtfully finished with a piece of 'beach bling'! 

Cotton Sash cord: 

I love experimenting with fabric dye and cotton sash cord is perfect for this. Each basket is unique and the colours can vary depending on the intensity of the dye bath I make up. These are perfect if you are wanting to match a colour with your interior décor or home styling. Cotton sash cord is made in Australia and I use a selection of size options. 

Black Polypropylene Rope:

This is a synthetic product, manufactured here in Australia. These Black Baskets are my most popular. Black is timeless and looks amazing in a modern, minimalistic space. Decorating them with a piece of driftwood or a stunning shell gives them a touch of modern luxury, while maintaining a natural vibe. Polypropylene rope is mildew resistant so ideal for the kitchen or bathroom. they can be lightly washed and dried in the sun.

Jute Rope:

This is a beautiful natural product that blends beautifully with the beach bling I collect from our East Coast Beaches. I Also use the Jute rope to accompany the Polypropylene rope baskets.
