These beautiful, versatile baskets are handwoven in Tanzania from local milulu grass. Available in three sizes to suit a range of different storage needs; the small size is perfect as a desk tidy or for storing cosmetics, whilst the larger sizes are great for clothing, toys or even dry food storage in the kitchen. These baskets also make beautiful woven planters for houseplants (just make sure to add a waterproof liner).
These baskets are woven by skilled craftswomen working as part of a network of village cooperatives in Tanzania. As is the case with most basket weavers in Africa, the art of weaving has usually been passed down the family line, though these Tanzanian weavers are also regularly trained in product development and new weaving techniques. 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.
