Product Care & Composition

The Kenyan women behind these natural woven baskets all learned to weave baskets from their mothers and grandmothers, and practise this traditional craft within a small weaving group in rural Kenya. We visit these women as often as we can, and have built a strong bond with the weavers and their chairlady, Madam Dorcas over the years. Where once these weavers would undertake the long journey to Nairobi to sell their work at markets, The Basket Room now places regular orders with them, enabling these women to work more efficiently and sustainably from home.

Basket weaving is work that is portable, sociable and flexible: these women weave throughout the day and the week, fitting in this reliable work around childcare and domestic chores. Weaving work supplements incomes made from farming, which can be unpredictable in the dry seasons.

Material: SISAL & BRANDED LEATHER TAB

About The Basket Room

The Basket Room is an ethical home interiors brand inspired by fashion, creativity, and sustainability. A brand committed to empowering women in rural Africa while bringing consciously created products to modern living spaces and contemporary homes. It is a company almost a decade in the making, and it all started with a road trip from South Africa to Nairobi. Holly McMullen, the CEO of The Basket Room, embarked on her journey into ethical African textiles while travelling the continent with her father in 2006. Eight years later, after studying fashion design and exploring ethical supply chains, the idea of The Basket Room was born. Today, The Basket Room is the home of African woven baskets in the UK. Our collections inspire interior designers and homemakers worldwide; our commitment to sustainability makes us a leader in ethical home accessories.
