THE BASKET ROOM | Kagua | Green Check Woven Storage Basket
Parading bold checks in soft sapling green, these beautiful KAGUA baskets are handwoven in rural Kenya from local sisal. 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 KAGUA woven baskets all learned to weave local sisal fibers from a young age and practice this traditional craft within a small weaving group in rural Kenya. We visit and spend time with this group as often as we can, and have built a strong bond with the craftswomen and their chairlady, Madam Dorcas over the years. Before we started trading with this group, the weavers would undertake the long journey to Nairobi to sell their woven baskets at city markets. Today, these women can earn a living safely and more efficiently from home, working to complete large and regular orders from The Basket Room during quiet moments between childcare, domestic work and farming.
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 our woven baskets helps us in our mission to empower African craftswomen to support themselves and their families more sustainably and preserve this age-old craft.
