Beautiful handwoven baskets that can be used for bread, fruit or as a beautiful decoration.
The woven dishes/baskets are bought on Fair Trade terms directly from the women who weave them. All baskets are handmade and may therefore vary slightly in size, color and pattern.
The traditional baskets with one or more colors are woven with a colored plastic thread in biodegradable recycled plastic, thereby producing the beautiful pattern and beautiful colors that characterize many Senegal baskets.
Background: Our baskets are carefully handmade by women from the Thies region, approx. 122 km north of Dakar in Senegal. These women work hard to support their families by either weaving baskets or cultivating their fields. Many of the villages still lack basic facilities such as electricity and water. Basket weaving has long been an important source of income, helping the women earn extra money and create better living conditions for their families.
This craftsmanship is part of a proud tradition where each product reflects the hard work of these women while supporting sustainable and fair working conditions.
