ABABIO: Medium Navy, Brown & Natural Log or Laundry Basket

Bring a pop of African style and texture to your fireplace with the ABABIO log basket, in a medium size. With elaborate bands of Navy, Brown & Natural , this tall woven basket is ideal for logs and kindling but equally suited to being a laundry basket, a toy basket, or a storage basket for rugs and blankets. Every woven log basket in this new collection is a unique work of art, designed by the weaver herself. The ABABIO log basket is produced from sturdy veta vera grass – a local raw material that’s sustainably sourced and makes for super-strong basketry. Basket weaving brings these women opportunity to earn a vital second income to support their farming work and domestic duties, within the dignified and ethical framework of the cooperative. The cotton calico liners produced to fit our laundry baskets are manufactured by a social enterprise based in East London. These cotton liners are sewn by women facing multiple barriers to employment, being previously unemployed and with no prior work experience. These women have learnt exemplary sewing skills on free training programmes and now work to commission, costed at the London Living Wage. Choose to have your woven laundry basket with or without the liner!
