Upcycling meets traditional craftsmanship.
Sustainable basket bag from Kenya: Discarded wool clothing and sisal are transformed into hand-woven, unique items.
The pretty basket bags are inspired by traditional Kenyan colors and handwoven by weavers of the Kamba tribe in Kenya. The weavers regularly visit the “gikombas” (clothing markets) to select and buy colorful wool sweaters, which are washed at home and unraveled into individual balls of colored wool – and then woven.
These basket bags are made from wool salvaged from second-hand sweaters, woven around local sisal grass. In just four days, these talented women can transform a discarded sweater into a beautiful basket.
- Each piece is unique
- Material: Sisal, recycled wool, leather straps
- 100% compostable
Made in Kenya
