Colourful Handwoven Basket and Bags
I have a terrible addiction to baskets… in fact, they were one of the main reasons Squirrel began. I love them, use them endlessly and never seem to have quite enough.
I have taken great joy in discovering handwoven baskets that are as meaningful as they are beautiful, made by women artisans working within weaving cooperatives in rural Kenya. Each basket is handmade, completely unique, and crafted using traditional techniques.
By choosing one of these beautiful baskets, you are shopping consciously, supporting fair wages, helping families and contributing towards education and everyday essentials. Practical, joyful and full of heart… just the sort of basket Squirrel cannot resist.
Love,
