Huduma - Purple & Blue Stripe Woven Basket
The Basket RoomFeaturing a geometric band of lavender and baby blue across its middle against a natural sisal base, our HUDUMA baskets are handwoven in three different sizes, so there’s one for almost every home storage conundrum. Use a small woven basket for toiletries, jewellery and watches, remote controls, mobile devices and cables, while the medium and large woven baskets make great floor storage for everything from laundry and loo rolls to rugs and blankets, slippers, firewood and children’s toys. These purple striped baskets look great on shelves and also make excellent woven planters for all types of houseplants – and we can’t think of a more perfect new home gift…
The women behind these HUDUMA striped woven baskets work within a small weaving group in rural Kenya. We spend time with these women as often as we can, and have built a wonderful bond with the craftswomen and their inspiring chairlady, Madam Dorcas over the years. Before we started working with this group, the weavers would travel to Nairobi to sell their woven baskets at city markets. Today, these women can earn a sustainable income from home, working to complete large and regular orders from The Basket Room during pockets of downtime between childcare, housework and farming.
Most of these weavers are from farming families who rely on steady rainfall to feed, support and clothe their families. So we make sure that when farming slows down, weaving work picks up. Purchasing one of our woven baskets helps us in our pledge to empower rural artisans to support themselves and their families more sustainably, and preserve this rewarding craft for future generations of craftswomen.

Important Information
If you have any questions, please check out the below or get in touch via our contact formWe're devoted to sending our customers quality plants with the best service around. Every plant is backed by our 7-day guarantee, so they arrive in good health.
Our team takes extra steps when prepping plants for transportation, but they're still sensitive to changes, so there may be minor cosmetic issues. We always aim to photograph and disclose any flaws before shipping, but a living creature travelling across the country in a box can take a hot minute to adjust to its new life.
If you have any issues within 7 days of receiving your order, holler at our customer support team on our contact form with your order details and some pics of the issue. After the guarantee has expired, though, we can't refund as we can't guarantee care and environmental factors. If you repot the plant during the 7 days, the guarantee is void.
We have been sending plants up and down the country for many year now and we like to think we have our way down to an art.
We protect the plant from falling out of the soil with tissue paper and tape if needed, then we wrap the plant in corrugated cardboard, and sometimes we protect the leaves with extra tissue paper if required. This is then placed into a box and if there is any empty space, we fill this with void fill to stop the plants moving around inside the box. Sometimes we will write a note on your packing slip to water the plant on arrival, so please look out for this. This is due a freshly watered plant going in a box will not only be soggy, but as the plant is in darkness this can sometimes make the plant unhappy when just freshly watered.
If your plant arrives to you unhappy, please send us a photo of the plant and packaging if relevant straight away, so we can advise you.
