Red Check Woven Basket - Large

With its bold red checks, the SAHIHI baskets are  handwoven in Kenya from local sisal in three different sizes. Use a small basket for jewellery and watches, remote controls and cables, whilst our medium and large woven baskets make lovely storage for slippers, gloves, scarves and rugs, toys, laundry, loo rolls and craft projects. These stylish red check baskets also make excellent woven planters for your houseplants – and we can’t think of a more perfect new home gift for someone who loves all things bright!

 The craftswomen who produce these SAHIHI 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, the women can work safely and more efficiently from home, working to complete large and regular orders from The Basket Room.
