Welcome back! Today we are exploring the beautiful boho rattan sector of Etsy. So, let’s get right into it, and answer that curious question that a lot of us have. What’s the difference between rattan and wicker? After doing a bit of research, since I also didn’t truly understand, I found a pretty simple answer.
Rattan is a product, while wicker is a process.
Info Bloom does a nice little article here explaining more if you are interested. But essentially what I found is that rattan is a type of material made from the climbing palms of the subfamily Calamoideae. Whereas wicker is a type of weaving technique that can be used with a variety of different materials. Make sense?
So, let’s dive in and check out my favorite Etsy shops for browsing as I daydream about my boho home.
