Use a small basket for jewellery and watches, remote controls and cables, whilst our medium and large woven baskets make lovely storage for slippers, gloves, scarves and rugs, toys, laundry, loo rolls and craft projects. These bright pinstripe baskets also make excellent woven planters for your houseplants – and we can’t think of a more perfect new home gift for someone who loves all things bright!

Product Care & Composition

The craftswomen who produce these KIWANDA pink woven baskets all learned to weave sisal from a young age, and practise this traditional African craft within a small collective in rural Keya. We visit an spend time with this talented group as often as we can, and have fostered a strong bond with the craftswomen and their inspiring chairlady, Madam Dorcas over the years. Before we started trading with this group, the weavers would make the long journey to Nairobi to sell their woven baskets at urban markets. These days, the women can work safely and more efficiently from home, working to complete large and regular orders from The Basket Room.

The lion’s share of basket production takes place during Kenya’s dry seasons. Most of these weavers are from farming communities who rely on farming – and therefore, steady rainfall - to feed, support and clothe their families, so when farming slows down, weaving work picks up. Purchasing one of our woven baskets helps us in our mission to empower African craftswomen and preserve this age-old craft. You can read more about these weavers HERE.
