With its striking black checks on a white base, our BAINI baskets are new for SS24 and handwoven in Kenya from sustainably sourced sisal in two different sizes. One brilliant thing about woven storage baskets is that they keep meeting your storage needs over time: fill yours with pens and pencils if you need a stylish desk tidy, or use yours for make-up and jewellery on your dressing table. Use a small basket for remote controls and cables, and larger woven baskets make lovely storage for slippers, gloves, scarves and rugs, toys, laundry and craft projects.

The craftswomen who produce these BAINI woven baskets all learned to weave sisal from a young age, and practise this traditional African craft within a small collective in rural Kenya. We visit and spend time with this talented group as often as we can, and have fostered a strong bond with the craftswomen and their inspiring chairlady, Madam Dorcas over the years. Before we started trading with this group, the weavers would make the long journey to Nairobi to sell their woven baskets at urban markets. These days, women can work safely and more efficiently from home, working to complete large and regular orders from The Basket Room.

Basket production takes place mainly during Kenya’s dry seasons. Most of these weavers are from farming communities that rely on growing crops – and therefore, steady rainfall - to feed, support, and clothe their families, so when farming slows down, weaving work picks up the slack. Purchasing one of our woven baskets helps us in our mission to empower African craftswomen and preserve this rewarding craft for future generations of craftswomen.
