Discover the story behind this basket;

Created by one of the most experienced members of the women’s weaving cooperatives in the rural Eastern Region of Kenya, this versatile storage basket is hand woven from local sisal fibres. The stiff leaves of this fibrous shrub are harvested, rolled and dyed by hand before six days of weaving begins. Each storage basket takes forty balls of sisal to complete, whilst two expert leather workers (known locally as ‘fundi’) produce KUNDI’s leather trim and handles. 

These woven storage baskets tell an important story about collaboration and sustainable living. By owning any of The Basket Room's woven baskets you become part of this narrative, directly supporting the weavers in becoming less dependent on the unpredictable nature of self-sufficiency farming.
