These ethical, square storage baskets are handwoven in Tanzania from local milulu grass. Available in a range of sizes, they are perfect for bathroom storage, for newspapers and magazines or even dry food storage in the kitchen.
These baskets are produced by talented weavers working as part of a cooperative of around 580 members. They are woven from reeds found in riverbeds and swampland, though many cooperatives now grow their own reeds, having purchased the raw materials with profits from basket sales. Most weavers are primarily farmers, and work is scarce during the dry seasons when it can become impossible to make ends meet. During this time, weaving takes precedence and helps stem the gap in earnings that many families suffer.
