the story
In Senegal, a basket is woven to be lived with.
Our artisans in Senegal coil elephant grass, wrap it in strips of recycled plastic, and stitch it row by row into baskets sturdy enough for everyday life. Every tall hamper is shaped entirely by hand, so each one carries the rhythm 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
A fitted lid keeps laundry, throws, and toys out of sight, and sturdy walls hold their shape day after day.
