What if the storage baskets in your home could do more than hold blankets and toys? What if these artisanal baskets were handwoven from sustainably-sourced sisal in the prettiest pastel shades? And what if these pastel storage baskets could also hold stories? 

A handcrafted basket from The Basket Room also holds the story of the skilled Kenyan women who wove it. It holds the story of the life she’s been empowered to build with the fair wages she’s earned, and the way it’s designed to last a lifetime.

That combination means your new pastel basket will become a future heirloom that transcends trends. 

Read on to discover our new Spring/Summer pastel basket and tableware collection, which is ready to elevate your everyday. 

Spring at The Basket Room has been full of movement. I am quite a believer in the Wheel of the Year, and I follow the Moon's phases - it all helps me feel closer to nature and instills a sense of grounding. I've discovered a new weekly yoga class, and I am ready for the Year of the Fire Horse!

 

From planting the sisal, to a finished handwoven basket, it takes up to two and a half years to create The Basket Room’s baskets! We think this labour of love is worth it to create unique handwoven baskets you’ll treasure for many years to come.  When you buy our baskets, you’re not just getting a piece of art. You’re also helping support subsistence farmers in Africa, who create these woven marvels alongside their day-to-day work.  See what it takes to create your handwoven baskets, step by step.
