Small Iringa Basket Shopper
Woven from milulu grass, a reed-like swamp grass, Iringa baskets are an indispensable utility item in East Africa and around the world. To extend the functionality of these durable baskets, artisans in Tanzania add soft leather handles and upper trim. The result is a stylish tote that you can count on using for years to come.
Because this is handcrafted item, each may vary slightly.
