Due to the plastic bag ban in Kenya our weavers have resulted to re-purposing plastic bags strips and using sisal fibre to weave these colourful and vibrant basket bags. They sisal fibre is the skeleton of the upcycled plastic weave which makes the basket more robust and durable. This bags are life’s companion…whether for shopping, picnic,beach or organisation around the house. We love taking care of the environment while taking care of you.
