Basket Inventory
There are thousands of
baskets for you to choose from when considering what to buy for your
designs, but it's often difficult to buy all of them. That's why it's wise to
educate yourself regarding the basics before buying your starting inventory.
Here's a short list of
the many styles you will see when visiting basket wholesaler showrooms, trade
shows, and other supply sources.
- Small,
medium, large, and extra-large sizes
- Square,
round, and oval styles
- With and
without handles
- Made from
wicker, wire, and ceramic
- Unpainted, painted in one color, and painted in multi-colors
- Shapes of
homes, bird houses, fishing tackle boxes, and more
Before buying your
basket inventory, think about the person who will receive it. That will help you narrow your choices.
A general inventory
breakdown for a first-time, full-time designer might consist of 12-18 baskets in
various sizes and styles. Box containers, also very popular with
customers, are another consideration. Wired containers might be
overlooked at the beginning, but as you become comfortable with your design
style and seeing styles made by other designers, wire may
soon become a desired container.
Buying baskets in a
nested format (3 or 4 of one design in varied sizes) is another popular
way to buy baskets. If you buy nested sets, here's the
pricing formula on
the wholesale baskets page.
