DESCRIPTION
Support Fair Trade for women and have something beautiful at the same time. This useful, tall handmade bin basket is hand woven from sisal and banana fiber by talented women in rural Kenya.
Sisal grows well in the semi-arid climate of eastern Kenya, and its spiky leaves contain long fibers that can be extracted for weaving. The fibers are then hand-dyed and woven into different baskets.
This one has been woven into a pretty bin basket for your home office or perhaps a bedroom. Can you imagine the hours it took to make such a nice piece!
The colors allow it fit into most decor while still allowing it to show off as a pretty piece of functional art.
NOTE: Sisal baskets can be easily wet with cold water and re-shaped by hand anytime it’s needed. Sold singly. Because this is a handcrafted item, each will vary slightly.
