This handcrafted oval basket is woven by rural women in West Africa. A perfect way to blend storage and art, in any room of the home, each basket features stripes in varied shades of green against an aqua blue background. Wolof women in the West African nation of Senegal update traditional coil weaving methods by enlivening natural grass baskets with colorful strips of plastic salvaged from a mat factory. Cattails grow abundantly in rural Senegal, so women can earn a sustainable income from basket weaving while enriching homes around the world with modern African craftsmanship.

Because this is a handcrafted item, each will vary slightly.

*By law, containers shipped from Africa are fumigated. Other than the fumigation process, the fibers are not treated with any other chemicals.
