Green Check Woven Storage Basket

£32.00
| /

Parading bold checks in soft sapling green, these beautiful KAGUA baskets are handwoven in rural Kenya from local sisal in three different sizes - one for almost every home storage need. Use a small woven basket for jewellery and watches, remote controls and cables, while medium and large woven baskets make handy and attractive storage for everything from laundry and loo rolls to rugs and blankets, slippers and children’s toys. These pastel check baskets also make excellent woven planters for your beloved houseplants – and we can’t think of a more perfect new home gift for someone who loves all things pastel hued!

Most of these weavers are from farming communities who rely on farming – and therefore, steady rainfall - to feed, support and clothe their families. So when farming slows down, weaving work picks up. Purchasing one of our woven baskets helps us in our mission to empower African craftswomen to support themselves and their families more sustainably, and preserve this age-old craft.

Dimensions (approx): 
S: 17-19cm DIA x 17-19cm H
M: 22-24cm DIA x 22-24cm H

The craftswomen who produce these HOTUBA natural woven baskets all learned to weave sisal from a young age, and practise their craft within a small collective in rural Kenya.
