Katika - Red, Orange & Pink Tie-Dye Woven Basket
The Basket RoomWith its ribbons of red, nu orange and bright pink, KATIKA is a home storage basket for those serious colour lovers. They’re produced in three handy sizes and woven from indigenous sisal grass in rural Kenya. Use your woven storage basket for keeping your hair accessories and toiletries organized, or fill with children’s toys, remote controls and gloves and hats. These round sisal baskets also make beautiful woven planters for your houseplants – and wonderful new home gifts. Wherever and however you choose to use your new woven basket it is sure to bring a splash of Kenyan colour and craft to your interiors.
The Basket Room partners with a network of twelve Kenyan weaving groups - with over thirty weavers in each group – to produce these colourful woven baskets. Weaving is work that fits in conveniently with weavers’ other domestic chores, childcare and farming and a craft that connects generations in Kenya, passed from grandmothers to mothers to daughters all over the country. In producing these woven storage baskets, the women in this craft group are empowered to support their families with a reliable additional income – and work that is fair, creative, sociable and flexible.
