Description

Wolof women in the West African nation of Senegal update traditional coil weaving methods by enlivening natural grass baskets with colorful strips of plastic salvaged from a mat factory. Cattails grow abundantly in rural Senegal, so women can earn a sustainable income from basket weaving while enriching homes around the world with modern African craftsmanship.

This incredibly useful bath bin can be used as a storage bin, upscale waste can or decorative container for potted plants.

Sold singly. Because this is a handcrafted item, each will vary slightly.
