OUR ETHOS
Our mantra is connection through craft. By bringing the age-old craft of basketry to the global market, we empower thousands of talented women living rurally in Africa to support themselves and their families more sustainably throughout the seasons.
These carry-handle market baskets come in three handy sizes and are produced in the Bolgatanga area of Ghana. All are made from veta vera grass which grows wild locally and is incredibly robust when woven - a stylish and sustainable alternative to plastic.
At The Basket Room, sustainability is at the core of everything we do. Whether it is the materials we use, our long production cycles, how we support the artisans who weave our baskets, or using low-carbon transport. At every point of our journey, we always try to put the planet and people first.
At The Basket Room we LOVE to see how you're using your handwoven African baskets, whether it be a basket for your laundry, a colourful woven basket bag for your knitting or a bicycle basket...SHARE your photos using the hashtag #mybasketroom on Instagram and see them appear here!
