These gorgeous sand and dusty pink block colour baskets are handwoven for The Basket Room in South Western Kenya. These baskets area great for storage and are available in three handy sizes and can be used as flower pots and planters for indoor plants as well as being useful dressing table organisers for jewellery, and stylish desk tidies. These baskets are handwoven by a small collective of female weavers living near the Masinga Dam in Kenyaone of seven dams on the River Tana. Their chairlady started managing basket production in 1993, and today she leads several groups with specific production roles from twisting to dyeing and weaving sisal fibres. Backing all the values of fair trade the Basket Room work with weaving cooperatives empowers women to support their families with a flexible income in the dry seasons, where subsistence farming often fails to meet the needs of the family. When you take home one of our woven baskets you actively support these weavers and their families
