Rainbow Herringbone Flat Lid Hamper Basket

Wolof women in the West African nation of Senegal hand-weave baskets in the traditional coil weaving method, using natural grass. Interweaving colorful strips of plastic, salvaged from a mat factory in Dakar, the weavers brighten up the baskets and create designs. Cattails grow abundantly in rural Senegal, making this natural grass a sustainable choice. The Wolof women earn a sustainable income from basket weaving, while enriching homes around the world with modern African craftsmanship. This hamper basket features inset handles and a flat lid. Dimensions: 16-18"D x 16-18"W x 17-19"H Crafted from: Cattail stalks, plastic Made in: Senegal Due to the handmade nature of this item, some variation is expected.
