MAU: Black & white sisal basket

£60.00

SKU N/A Category Tags , , , , , , , , , ,

This beautiful basket is handmade by a self help group of lady weavers in a remote rural village in Kenya. Due to the arid/dry environment the women rely on weaving before the rainy season. Working directly with the weavers brings fair-trade, financial security & providing additional income to sustain their livelihood.

Woven from sisal (perennial succulent) extracting the fibre is a sincere labour of love. The fibre is then dried, brushed and dyed with natural food products. It takes few days or up to a week to finish a basket depending with the size and complexity of the design.

Then the basket is taken to a leather workman (locally known as Fundi ) who fits in naturally tanned genuine robust leather handles and strap. All done by hand.

Purchasing one of these bags supports it’s makers and helps preserve an ancient craft tradition.

I absolutely love this bag. It's well designed and really stands out. Stylish but big enough to take all my little items on a day out or for the weekend. I love all the products and how the company is helping the women in Kenya.
Stylish sturdy baskets, fabulous colours & designs all hand woven by Kenyan Ladies. This is a genuine company dealing direct with the villages, they have a passion to help improve lives through trade. I especially like the fact that the baskets are made for you.
These are all 5 Star products. My family all think the bags are fantastic both in quality and design. You can see the hard work that has gone into making these wonderful bags. Not only that, but the website was really easy to use and all my questions were answered really quickly.
