  • Midnight Iringa Baskets

    These simple yet durable baskets are hand woven by women in rural Tanzania from milulu grass dyed to a dark hue ranging from deep purple to black. They are useful for storage in every room of the home.

    Sold singly. Because this is a handcrafted item, size and coloration will vary.

    NOTE: We ship Iringa baskets in two ways. We can fit more FLATTENED Iringa baskets into a box, saving you on shipping costs. Or, we can SHAPE your baskets before they ship. If you do not indicate during checkout that you wish for us to SHAPE your baskets, they will arrive flattened. You can shape your basket by wetting the straw and shaping the basket with your hands, then allowing it to dry.
