Fair Trade Made Iringa Baskets with Diagonal Black Stripes from Tanzania, Africa

These simple yet durable baskets are hand woven by women in rural Tanzania. Available in three sizes, they are useful in every room of the home. Accents of dyed black milulu grass elevate these traditional baskets as modern decor.

Sold singly, three sizes available. Because this is a handcrafted item, each will vary.

NOTE: Iringa baskets are shipped flattened into a box. You can shape your basket by wetting the straw and shaping the basket with your hands, then allowing it to dry.

Approx Dimensions:
Small: 10"D x 11"H
Medium: 12-13"D x 12"H
Large: 14-15"D x 13"H
Please expect up to a 2" size variance (this allows baskets of the same general size to be nested together when shipping from Tanzania).

Crafted from: Milulu grass, natural dye
Made in: Tanzania

We believe that hardworking African artisans, producers, and export agents hold the key to their own personal success and that the path to success requires a steady, committed pace. We can extend each artisan's channel of trades from local markets to the global marketplace, all the while providing them with options to work from the comfort of their own homes and communities. Secure in the knowledge that the fair payment they receive will not be reduced by traveling expenses, childcare costs, and haggled prices, most artisans in the network promote their family's future by using earnings to put food on the table and pay educational expenses for their children.

providing fair payment to workers in developing nations
educating artisans and workers to increase their potential for advancement
ensuring the rights of children
developing products and processes that protect and conserve the natural environment
