PENCIL: Stationery Motif Embroidered Woven Storage Basket

A scribbling pencil motif designed by illustrator Jacqueline Colley adorns this ethically hand-woven sisal basket, hand embroidered by Nduta, an multi-talented artist working in Nairobi. These woven baskets make delightful children’s storage and will also appeal to all of those with a playful approach to interiors. Use your embroidered baskets as desk tidies and planters, on bedside tables and coffee tables - or for knitting, crafting, toys, muslins or toiletries. Not just practical and fun, these baskets also serve a vital purpose for their Kenyan makers. The weavers, taught by their own mothers and grandmothers, make a reliable secondary income fulfilling orders from The Basket Room. In times of unpredictable drought, flexible work like weaving enables these women - who otherwise rely solely on farming to put food on the table - to better support their families throughout the seasons.   Material:  SISAL & BRANDED LEATHER TAB 14.5-16.5cm DIA x 14.5-16.5cm H Please note, as this is a handmade product, dimensions & colour may vary from those shown in the photographs.
