The most beautiful woven Fair Trade baskets from Senegal. All baskets are handmade and may therefore vary slightly in size, color and pattern.
XL: 65-68 cm high without lid, approx. 82 cm with lid and approx. 48 cm in diameter. Large: approx. 58 cm high without lid, 75 cm with lid and 45 cm in diameter Medium: approx. 46 cm high without lid, 66 cm with lid and 35 cm in diameter Small: approx. 35 cm high without lid, 50 cm with lid and 25 cm in diameter
The traditional baskets with one or more colors are woven with a colored plastic thread and thereby the beautiful pattern that characterizes Senegal baskets appears. The plastic thread is made from recycled plastic.
The leather comes from the local goats that roam the villages.
Our baskets are handmade by women from the Thies region, about 122 km north of Dakar, Senegal. The women work under Fair Trade conditions, which means, among other things, that I pay 5-10 times more for the products than they would normally get in local markets. This fair payment allows the women and their families to live dignified lives where they can support themselves, their families and send their children to school.
