Open Floor Storage Baskets

Open floor storage baskets, handwoven by skilled Wolof artisans who have formed a cooperative of more than one hundred women weavers in rural Senegal, West Africa. Each basket is individually crafted from sturdy Typha (cattail) stalks and salvaged plastic strips used to make mats. Cattails grow abundantly in rural Senegal, so women can earn a sustainable income from basket weaving. The natural grass baskets are often embellished with colorful strips of plastic salvaged from a nearby mat factory. Sizes are displayed in the menu as diameter x height. As each basket is unique, sizes do vary, sometimes up to an inch We hope you enjoy the beautiful functionality of these storage baskets as much as we do! From Senegal, West Africa.
