She does this by weaving her bags and baskets with unconventional materials and adding [metallic copper features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whispers-of-a-trail). In doing so, Moisés Hernández makes the products more profitable amongst a wider range of consumers, as the baskets are made to be more unique and bags more stylish. The woven baskets and bags are made from palm which is then dyed using [recycled pigments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rosana-sousa) to limit waste and create less of an impact on the environment. Baskets with beautiful gold material were created in response to a shortage of water in the area as well, with its construction not requiring the substance to produce dyes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 15% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: South America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Contemporary Hand Woven Baskets:** Opportunity for traditional artisans to incorporate modern features into their crafts using unconventional materials and eco-friendly practices. - **Recycled Pigment Dyeing:** Opportunity to create sustainable and eco-friendly dyeing processes using recycled pigments. - **Metallic Accents in Weaving:** Opportunity to add unique and stylish metallic elements to traditional hand woven crafts. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Handicrafts:** Innovative designs for hand woven baskets and bags can revolutionize the handicraft industry by incorporating modernity and sustainability. - **Fashion Accessories:** Hand woven bags with unconventional materials and metallic elements are a disruptive innovation in the fashion accessories industry, catering to a wider range of consumers. - **Sustainable Manufacturing:** The use of eco-friendly dyeing processes and non-traditional materials can bring disruptive innovation opportunities to the sustainable manufacturing industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sophisticated Upcycled Home Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/basket-sculptures.md) - [Stunning Sustainable Pottery Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sustainable-pottery.md) - [Expertly Woven Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicker-side-table.md) - [Woven Lighting Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gurunsi.md) - [Sculptural Knitted Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-knitted-objects.md) - [Math-Inspired Colorful Rugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/weave-collection.md) - [Intricately Woven Chair Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woven-chair-designs.md) - [Timeless Wool Storage Baskets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wool-storage-basket.md) - [Woven Statement Totes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holst-lee1.md)
