the story
In Senegal, every basket begins with a single coil.
Our artisans in Senegal bundle elephant grass into a tight coil, wrap it in strips of recycled plastic, and stitch it around itself row after row until the shape appears in their hands. It is patient, rhythmic work, and every piece carries the pace of the person who made it.
coiled by hand
Grass is bundled, wrapped, and stitched in one continuous spiral. You can follow every row.
color in every row
Color is worked in as the coil grows, so the pattern lands a little differently on every piece.
made to hold
Sturdy enough for fruit, bread, or keys, and beautiful enough to leave empty as a centerpiece.
