Dove Grey Colour Block Baskets

Use your hand woven storage basket as a pretty planter for cacti or as a chic desk tidy. Larger baskets in this ethically-produced collection make excellent storage for everything from toiletries, rugs and slippers to kitchenware, bread and fruit.

These fair trade storage baskets are handwoven from local sisal grass by a female weaver working within a rural weaving cooperative. The fibres are hand-picked and then hand-dyed outdoors in vats of boiling water, before being allowed to dry naturally. Only after all of this does the weaving process begin.

The weavers behind these brilliant baskets are primarily subsistence farmers, so basket weaving takes place during the dry seasons when crops and livestock are likely to suffer. Basket weaving brings these families the chance to earn an essential second income.
