Rattan hamper baskets are quoted per piece ex-works, and the spread between the cheapest and the most expensive model is more than three times. Understanding what causes that spread lets you specify deliberately instead of picking from a catalogue and hoping. Here is a working selection with real figures, all at a minimum of 50 pieces per model.

What actually moves the price
Volume of cane, not footprint
Compare the two 40 x 30 x 20 cm boxes above: one is USD 25, the other USD 31. Same external dimensions. The difference is the leather hinge and lid fastener, and the finishing. Meanwhile the 45 x 35 x 35 cm box is larger than both and cheaper at USD 15, because its lid is a metal-framed upholstered panel rather than fully woven cane. Weaving hours, not size, is the cost driver.
Interior treatment
A Regency fabric lining adds material and a second assembly step. It is what separates a shipping basket from a retail basket, and it is worth specifying when the product is displayed open.
Leather
Genuine Grade A leather handles, hinges and strap closures add cost and change how the product reads on a shelf. The two-tier hamper at USD 50 carries both lined interior and leather handles; strip those and it drops toward the middle of the range.
Colour finishing
Natural finishing is the baseline. Custom colour finishing adds a step, and adds protection against mould and termite damage. For humid destination markets that is function, not decoration.
Specifying for gifting versus retail
Gift and hamper brands usually need the basket to survive the unboxing and stay in the home afterwards. That points to a finished interior, a base that holds shape when empty, and edges that tolerate handling. Retail and supermarket display leans the other way: lower unit cost, stackability, and consistency across hundreds of pieces matter more than a lined interior.
Most models can be adjusted on dimensions, weaving pattern, colour, lining, leather accents and packaging, and OEM or private label work is produced from buyers' own drawings.
Frequently asked questions
What is the cheapest rattan basket available at wholesale?
A 33 x 30 x 12 cm shallow natural tray at USD 14 ex-works, minimum 50 pieces.
Why does a larger box cost less than a smaller one?
Because price follows weaving hours. A 45 x 35 x 35 cm box with a metal-framed upholstered lid needs less handwoven cane than a smaller box woven entirely in rattan with a leather-hinged lid.
Can I mix different models in one order?
Yes. The 50-piece minimum applies per model, and several models can run in the same order and shipment.
Are the catalogue prices final?
No. They are ex-works reference figures at USD 1 = IDR 18,000. Final pricing depends on specification, customisation, quantity, packaging and the exchange rate, and is confirmed in an official quotation.
Can the dimensions be changed?
Yes. Dimensions, weaving pattern, colour, lining, leather accents and packaging are all adjustable, and bespoke designs are produced from your own drawings.
