SITA: Lavender and Yellow Striped Bread Basket
type: Product
description: Bring some extra style to your brunch date with the SITA bread basket, with its stunning lavender stripes popping against a yellow sisal base. Hand woven Kenya’s rural Coastal Region, this beautiful dining table piece is utterly unique: made once and sold once. Fill yours with freshly baked rolls, slices of morning toast, or use it as a fruit bowl or a home for your avocadoes. SITA was created by a skilled craftswoman working as part of a weaving cooperative in Kenya’s rural Coastal Region. This group produces one-off woven baskets to their own preferred designs, choosing their preferred patterns and colour combos. Local sisal grass is hand-stripped using wooden tools and bare feet, then hand rolled on the thighs before being dyed in boiling water. Basket weaving is an empowering craft, bringing a vital second income to these weavers who are primarily women from farming families. With crops and livestock suffering in the dry season, basket weaving makes up the shortfall so that weavers can pay school fees and medical bills, and make essential home improvements. These craftswomen are paid a pre-agreed fee for each basket they produce, and can take their weaving work with them wherever they go. Each unique woven basket comes with a little information about the cooperative who made yours - meet the weavers from this region HERE. Material: SISAL Dimensions: 20cm Dia x 8cm H / 8" Dia x 3" H Please note, as this is a handmade product, dimensions & colour may vary from those shown in the photographs. HANDMADE IN KENYA
