MAWUSI: Large Black, Red and Green Floor Storage Basket with Handles

Makeover your home and declutter at the same time with the MAWUSI floor basket, in a large size. With geometric patterns in black, red and green, this ethically-produced basket is perfect for filling with kindling and logs but it can also be put to use all over the home. Yours could become a laundry basket, toy basket, vegetable basket or blanket basket, for example! Every round storage basket in this collection is totally unique – made once and sold once. Woven from ethically-sourced veta vera grass in Northern Ghana, this colourful basket is made from robust veta vera grass – an indigenous raw material that’s sustainably sourced and perfect for producing durable baskets. The grass is hand-rolled before being woven by a skilled member of our partner weaving cooperative in Northern Ghana. Most of the artisans who make these baskets are farmers first and foremost, but drought makes it increasingly difficult to live off the land. Basket weaving empowers these people with the opportunity to earn a flexible second income. Each woven basket is supplied with some information about the weaving cooperative who made it.
