African Fair Trade Hand Woven Lidded Basket Prismatic Pixels

A network of rural Wolof women in Senegalese villages are working together to create beautiful handcrafted baskets for export. Using locally harvested cattail stalks and strips of plastic used to make prayer mats, the women bring supplemental income to their households by weaving baskets between their daily duties. Thanks to some attention from magazines like InStyle, Shape, and ELLE Decor, Swahili African Modern can continue developing new baskets with the Wolof ladies. Swahili African Modern, a member of the Fair Trade Federation, is committed to providing fair wages to their artisan workers and creating products from sustainable materials.
