The Basket Room Woven Basket, Green Stripe, Medium

Designed by The Basket Room and handwoven in Kenya by skilled craftswomen, this medium size green stripe and natural basket is the perfect ethical storage solution. Use it as a fabulous indoor planter, or to tidy away everything from toiletries and toys to hats, gloves and scarves.

The art of weaving is traditionally passed down to the women who produce these baskets by their mothers and grandmothers, and they work within a small, rural weaving cooperative led by an inspirational chairlady. Woven from the sisal plant, each basket goes through a detailed process, from growing, to harvesting, hand rolling, dyeing and finally weaving.

Buying this fairly traded basket directly supports the weavers to increase their livelihoods and become less dependent on self-sufficiency farming, which can be unreliable during the dry seasons.

Please note: due to the handcrafted nature of these baskets, dimensions and colour may vary from those shown in the photographs.

Made from local, sustainably sourced sisal.
