Designed exclusively by The Basket Room, the GHAFLA duo colour block baskets sport thick bands of mango yellow and biscuit – a joyful juxtaposition of colour that transcends the seasons. Available in three sizes, the GHAFLA basket makes a fabulous indoor planter or flowerpot or can be used for slippers and blankets, knitting or toys.

These baskets are handwoven by a small collective of female weavers living near the Masinga Dam in Kenya – one of seven dams on the River Tana. Their chairlady started managing basket production in 1993, and today she leads several groups with specific production roles from twisting to dyeing and weaving sisal fibres.

Backing all the values of fair trade, our work with weaving cooperatives empowers women to support their families with a flexible income in the dry seasons, where subsistence farming often fails to meet the needs of the family. When you take home one of our woven baskets you actively support these weavers and their families.
