COCKTAIL: Party Motif Embroidered Woven Storage Basket

It’s cocktail time! A chic martini glass, delicately hand-embroidered, garnishes this hand-woven storage basket. Woven in rural Kenya and embroidered by Nduta, a talented artist working in Nairobi, this small storage basket can be used all over the home - as a woven planter or desk tidy, or for keeping craft materials, pencils, toiletries or jewellery in.  Woven from natural undyed sisal and sand-dyed sisal, these embroidered baskets serve a crucial purpose for their Kenyan makers. The weavers, taught by their own mothers and grandmothers, make a vital secondary income weaving baskets. In times of unpredictable drought, flexible work like weaving enables these women - who otherwise rely solely on farming income - to better support their families throughout the seasons. This cocktail glass embroidered basket is just one piece in a beautiful range of embroidered baskets designed by The Basket Room in collaboration with British illustrator and designer Jacqueline Colley.   Material:  SISAL & BRANDED LEATHER TAB 19-22cm DIA x 19-22cm H If you need a specific size please let us know prior to placing your order.
