Wolof women in rural Senegal utilize salvaged plastic strips and abundant dried cattail stalks to create these incredibly handy oval knitting baskets.

  • Made in Senegal 

ORIGIN: This coil style of basket weaving has been practiced in Senegal for generations. Traditionally, Wolof women created baskets by binding stalks of cattail grass, a thick local grass, with long strips of reed. Though reed strips could be harvested locally, they were very hard on the hands of the weavers. About 20 years ago, an idea revolutionized Wolof basket weaving. A factory in Dakar, the capital of Senegal, creates mats using plastic strips that strongly resemble the reed strips. Using the plastic strips to replace the sharp natural material, conditions for the weavers drastically improved and the baskets began to burst into vibrant colors.

WHY BUY: A perfect way to blend storage and art, in any room of the home!
