Wolof women in the West African nation of Senegal update traditional coil weaving methods by entwining natural grass coils with purple strips of plastic, salvaged from a Senegalese prayer 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.
This classic-style laundry hamper storage basket features cutout handles and a flat lid that is fitted around the basket edge.
