Product description
100% natural dyes: black and dark brown and white patterns combine in a most striking, tribal effect. It is truly unique, hand woven in Kenya’s rural Coastal Region by a skilled craftswoman working with her preferred weave patterns and choice of natural dyes.
It is made in a Community Based Organisation which works on behalf of several women’s weaving cooperatives in Kenya, ensuring fair pay and decent working conditions. Profits from sales and all donations to the CBO are used to offer further support to these women’s groups. For these women’s groups, basket weaving is a portable, income-generating craft, and it takes place primarily during the dry seasons where crop production dwindles. Each basket comes with a thank you card from the cooperative who made yours.
