UMA: Green & Brown Duo Colour Block Woven Basket

Description

Meet the UMA duo colour block baskets, designed exclusively by The Basket Room for SS24 and boasting equal parts moshi and fern green.

These handy, ethically-produced baskets come in three sizes, offering scope for all manner of home storage needs: pop one on your desk, on bedside tables and shelves; use yours in the bathroom, the kitchen, or your kitchen table, filled with fruit, bread, or dried flowers.

These baskets also make excellent woven planters and stunning new home gifts.

The craftswomen who produce these 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.
