BAINI: Black Check Woven Storage Basket

Description

With its striking black checks on a white base, our BAINI baskets are new for SS24 and handwoven in Kenya from sustainably sourced sisal.

One wonderful thing about woven storage baskets is that they keep meeting your storage needs over time: fill yours with pens and pencils if you need a stylish desk tidy, or use yours for make-up and jewellery on your dressing table.

These pastel check baskets also make excellent woven planters for your beloved houseplants – and we can’t think of a more perfect new home gift for someone who loves all things pastel hued!

The craftswomen who produce these BAINI woven baskets all learned to weave local sisal fibres from a young age and practise this traditional craft within a small weaving group in rural Kenya.

Most of these weavers are from farming communities who rely on farming – and therefore, steady rainfall – to feed, support and clothe their families. So when farming slows down, weaving work picks up. Purchasing one of the woven baskets helps the brand’s mission to empower African craftswomen to support themselves and their families more sustainably, and preserve this age-old craft.
