  • UDONGO: Terracotta and Natural Patterned Woven Storage Baskets

    This collection of handwoven baskets are all hand-dyed using only natural materials, their beautiful natural hues achieved through foraging, pounding and mulching local grasses, tree bark, soil and even fireplace charcoal and soot. Prepared fibres like sisal, elephant grass and milulu grass are then boiled in large vats of water with the natural dye materials, though sometimes the fibres are buried in the ground next to tree roots to take on the desired colour.
    Creating natural dyes for weaving is a labour-intensive process, but an altogether worthwhile one. Choose from large woven planters in natural rust and terracotta tones and geometric striped storage baskets in ochres, blacks and whites.
    The added beauty of baskets using natural dyes from plants is that they create more sustainable work for more people, without producing any negative impact on the environment. Like every basket, each natural dye basket tells a rich story of the time and skill invested in its creation.

  • VIZURI: Black and Natural Storage Baskets

    This collection of handwoven baskets are all hand-dyed using only natural materials, their beautiful natural hues achieved through foraging, pounding and mulching local grasses, tree bark, soil and even fireplace charcoal and soot. Prepared fibres like sisal, elephant grass and milulu grass are then boiled in large vats of water with the natural dye materials, though sometimes the fibres are buried in the ground next to tree roots to take on the desired colour.
    Creating natural dyes for weaving is a labour-intensive process, but an altogether worthwhile one. Choose from large woven planters in natural rust and terracotta tones and geometric striped storage baskets in ochres, blacks and whites.
    The added beauty of baskets using natural dyes from plants is that they create more sustainable work for more people, without producing any negative impact on the environment. Like every basket, each natural dye basket tells a rich story of the time and skill invested in its creation.

  • XL Yellow Storage Basket

    Embrace the colour blocking trend with our bright sunflower yellow and natural coloured baskets, hand woven in South Western Kenya. These extra large storage baskets are perfect for toys, house plants and towels. ?Need more inspiration? Check out our basket uses page HERE.

    Our coloured baskets are produced by a small Kenyan weaving cooperative of around forty members, with a dedicated dye manager who oversees colour quality and consistency. Sisal grass is sourced ready-rolled when regular orders come in from The Basket Room, and is hand-dyed in large vats and hung out to dry before a traditional twining method is used. This is a highly skilled workforce of women who have woven from a young age, having been taught by the family matriarch. Using their own tape measures helps the weavers produce the set sizes we offer. This group meets weekly to receive new orders, deliver completed baskets, and receive payment.

    Our partnership with this cooperative helps women to support their families more comfortably, since subsistence farming alone often fails to meet the family?s needs. Buy one of our woven baskets and you actively support these weavers? livelihoods, and our commitment to empowering women. Each woven basket is supplied with a thank you card from the weaving cooperative, and you can meet the weavers HERE.

  • Yellow & Natural Maila Milulu Reed Baskets

    Vikapu Bomba embodies the vision of Catherine Shembilu to create sustainable income for talented rural Tanzanian women. For many women living in the lush southern highlands, life centers around subsistence farming, cooking, cleaning and caring for children. Women can weave baskets between their other duties, working daily to earn money to pay school fees, buy food, procure farming supplies and contribute to savings. When a woman has money of her own to use or share, she has greater influence over her life and future.

    Milulu grass reeds can be harvested carefully from the marsh without removing the entire plant, dried in the sun, dyed with natural dyes, and split for weaving. The closeness to the earth of both maker and product gives these beautifully crafted baskets widespread appeal.

    Sold singly, available in three sizes. Because these baskets are woven by hand, each will vary slightly.

    Dimensions:
    Small: 10″D x 10″H
    Medium: 12″D x 12″H

When a woman has money of her own to use or share, she has greater influence over her life and future.

    Milulu grass reeds can be harvested carefully from the marsh without removing the entire plant, dried in the sun, dyed with natural dyes, and split for weaving. The closeness to the earth of both maker and product gives these beautifully crafted baskets widespread appeal.

    Sold singly, available in three sizes. Because these baskets are woven by hand, each will vary slightly.

    Dimensions:
    Small: 10″D x 10″H
    Medium: 12″D x 12″H
    Large: 13″D x 13″H

    Crafted from: Milulu grass, natural dye

    Made in: Tanzania

  • ZIWA: Large Black, Brown & White Sisal Basket

    So popular are our Extra-Fine Natural Woven Planter Baskets and Unique Woven Planter Baskets that we were able to place an order for a third basket collection from this exceptional Kenyan weaving group. This is a group we’re especially close to and have worked with them since The Basket Room began in 2014. 

    The Extra-Fine Colourful Woven Planter Baskets baskets are produced using the ultra-fine weave and traditional patterns seen in the Extra-Fine woven baskets, and the variety and depth of colour that characterises the Unique Woven Planters. 

    These unique baskets are hand woven from indigenous sisal grass in rural Kenya by women working as part an incredibly creative weaving group. These basket weavers enjoy complete artistic freedom to select the patterns and colours that best showcase their own exceptional talents, empowered by the pay and the flexibility that basket weaving brings. Each basket is her own work of art before it becomes yours and there is only one of each design available. 

    Produced in a range of sizes, these colourful baskets can be used as planters and flower pots, desk tidies and fruit bowls – and as storage baskets for toys and blankets, firewood, stationery, slippers, knitting, mess, laundry – you name it!
