Traditional Fine-Weave Baskets

These stunning designs are known as the traditional Kenyan baskets, intricately handwoven using the finest hand-twisted fibres. Using all natural dyes, the colour palette is organic, earthy and natural. The weavers boil tree bark and flowers with sisal fibres and even bury them with roots to achieve some colour tones. Each design is uniquely one off, produced by the weaver, giving her creative freedom. The weave is three times finer than the colourful fine weave baskets, making them incredibly soft and refined. By selling these baskets, we are thrilled to protect and encourage an incredible traditional skill set which is completely unique in the world, and was previously being forgotten. We supply these baskets as a set of 3 (S/M/L), offering a mix of designs within the colour range. Each basket is size categorised by its height, and so, the diameters will vary. S: H 18cm M: H 23cm L: H 28cm Baskets do not come with a branded leather tab, but we will provide a range of swing tags.
