HIMIZA: Black & Khaki Sisal and Leather Shopper

The HIMIZA Sisal Shopper is a beautifully handwoven, two-tone basket in natural and black, finished with striking black leather carry handles. Made by skilled women artisans in rural eastern Kenya, each bag is woven by hand using locally harvested sisal grass, then carefully dyed to create its distinctive colour blocks.

Generously sized and wonderfully sturdy, it’s perfect as an everyday handbag, a stylish shopping basket, an overnight bag or even a chic gym tote. The sisal is harvested, rolled, dyed and woven entirely by hand, with the khaki base coloured using sand and boiling water over an outdoor fire, making every piece truly unique.

Basket weaving provides an important additional income for the women’s cooperative, supporting families alongside small-scale subsistence farming.

Material: Sisal & leather
Dimensions: Approx. 47cm diameter x 30cm height

Please note: as each basket is handmade, sizes and colours may vary slightly, which only adds to its charm
