The most beautiful traditional Fair Trade laundry 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 biodegradable recycled plastic.
Our baskets are produced by a number of women from the Theis Region approx. 122 km north of Dakar, Senegal. These women work hard to provide for their families. Either they work on our products, or they work cultivating their fields. Most of the women's villages do not yet have electricity and water. This means they have to walk several kilometers to charge their phones and fetch water.
Basket weaving has long been the means of earning extra money in addition to cultivating the fields.
