We love the unique shape of this hand woven tabletop storage basket, and we hope you do, too! Crafted from cattail stalks and strips of salvaged plastic in bestselling white, each basket has a snug fitting lid. Wolof women living in rural Senegal utilize salvaged strips of plastic and cattail stalks to create vibrant, useful baskets for the home. These scaled-down lidded baskets are a great way to present small gifts and baked goods.
Wolof women in the West African nation of Senegal update traditional coil weaving methods by enlivening natural grass baskets with strips of plastic salvaged from a mat factory. Cattails grow abundantly in rural Senegal, so women can earn a sustainable income from basket weaving while enriching homes around the world with modern African craftsmanship.
