Handwoven by skilled artisans in Senegal, this vibrant Large Sweet Grass Lidded Basket – Multi-Color, is a beautiful blend of artistry, sustainability, and everyday function. Each basket is woven from natural sweet grass and accented with colorful strips of recycled plastic repurposed from retired prayer mats, creating a striking design that is both meaningful and one of a kind.
With a fitted lid, this basket is perfect for storing a small throw blanket, yarn, magazines, toys, craft supplies, keepsakes, or everyday essentials while serving as a beautiful decorative piece. Because every basket is handmade, slight variations in color and pattern make each one uniquely its own.
Story Behind the Art
Basket weaving has long been an important tradition throughout Senegal where artisans transform locally harvested sweet grass into heirloom-quality baskets using techniques passed down through generations. Colorful strips of recycled plastic, often reclaimed from retired prayer mats, are carefully woven into each design, giving new life to everyday materials while creating vibrant patterns that are uniquely Senegalese.
Every purchase helps support artisan families, preserves traditional weaving techniques, and encourages sustainable craftsmanship that values both people and the environment.
