About the Artisans:

In Nairobi's Banana Hill suburb, African artisans utilize the fiber of banana palm trees, which grow prolifically in East Africa, to create whimsical gifts for local sale and export. Geoffrey and George head up a group of talented creatives with a penchant for portraying nuances of African life through this sustainable, all-natural medium.

This sisal, woven basket is handmade by a weaving cooperative in southeastern Kenya. They are naturally dyed using bark from the acacia tree, lending to a unique variation in tone with each one. The pattern also varies from piece to piece, as each weaver has their own technique. Use this basket as a planter, for storage, or to liven up a shelf!

This basket is naturally dyed and as such, will range in color.

It is approximately 10" wide x 10" tall.
