Cutlery Caddy Woven — Jute

Three compartments. Put cutlery in a holder or wrap first — the weave is not a food surface.

Material

Fibre: Jute (Corchorus olitorius)
Weave density: Tight — no gaps you can see through. Holds fine items and most dust.
Woven by hand: Yes — handwoven. Small irregularities in the pattern are the mark of that.
Dyed: No. This is the fibre's own colour, which is why it varies between batches.

Tested load

2 kg

Static load, evenly distributed, lying flat on a table. Held for 24 hours.

This is a measured figure under one stated condition, not a rating and not a guarantee. A different condition gives a different result — read how we test.

How it changes

Initial shedding: Yes. Expect visible fibre dust for the first month or so, more if you move the piece often. It reduces but never reaches zero with jute.
Shade & texture: Batches vary by up to ±10 % in shade and ±5 % in size. Two of these bought a year apart will not match exactly. That is a property of the fibre, not a fault.
Shape under load: Loaded fibre takes a set. Empty it and give it a day or two and most of the shape returns. Left loaded above the tested figure, or left damp under load, the change can be permanent.
Smell when new: A dry sacking smell for the first one to two weeks. It fades with airing.

Where it can live

Damp rooms: Dry rooms only. In a bathroom or an unventilated room this fibre stays damp and can grow mould.
Cleaning: Vacuum on low suction or brush the dust out, then spot-clean with a barely damp cloth and dry at once. Not washable, not machine washable.
Heat and flame: Natural fibre burns. Keep it away from candles, hobs, heaters and fireplaces.

Not for direct food contact

Use it for packaged goods or with a cloth or liner in between. Do not put unwrapped food straight onto the weave. In Danish: kun til indpakkede fødevarer eller med serviet — ikke til direkte kontakt med uindpakkede fødevarer.

Keep away from open flame and heat

Natural fibre burns. Keep it away from candles, fireplaces, heaters, hobs and hot appliances. We make no flame-retardancy claim for any piece we sell.

Dimensions

Outer: 240 mm × 120 mm
Inner: 210 mm × 92 mm — this is the space you actually get. Measure what you want to put in it against this figure, not the outer one.
Height: 120 mm
Tolerance: ±5 % on every dimension. Hand-woven pieces are not machined.

Origin

Designed in: Denmark
Made in: Bangladesh

We list these separately on purpose. The design is Danish; the weaving is not, and we will not imply otherwise.

Also worth knowing

Put cutlery into a cup, cloth or wrapper before it goes in the caddy.
