Product Care & Composition

Robust enough to hold fireside logs and perfect as a woven toy basket, this woven laundry hamper will work hard in any home. Use yours for stashing away rugs, blankets and towels, take it to the beach bag or out on your big food shop – its uses are never-ending.

Carefully hand woven by a member of a women’s weaving group in rural Kenya, this large laundry hamper has been formed from forty balls of Kenyan sisal grass. The strong leaves of this indigenous plant undergo a long process of harvesting, rolling and dyeing - all performed by hand - before six long days of weaving begin.

Farming is the backbone of most rural Kenyan families, but as drought persists, basket weaving is an alternative way to earn a safe, sustainable and fair wage. Your purchases enable us to keep this traditional craft alive.

Material: SISAL & LEATHER RIM HANDLES

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.
