Woven Storage Baskets - Coastal Blue, Set of 3

Each basket is handwoven in Senegal by Wolof women, who coil natural millet grass and wrap it with recycled plastic strands - a technique that gives every piece its strength, durability, and color.

The craft is passed down through generations within the community. Because each basket is shaped entirely by hand, small variations in weave and tone are the signature of genuine handwork.

Your purchase supports these women artisans and the livelihoods they build through their craft - and gives discarded plastic a second life.
