White Lidded Floor Baskets | Senegal

Sale price$190.00
SKU: SWBLS-WH
Style:

Clean lines, a matte white finish, and a flat, close-fitting lid make these handwoven baskets quiet but striking pieces in any room. They are minimalist enough for a contemporary space and textured enough to bring the warmth of handmade craft.

Each basket is woven by Wolof women in rural Senegal from millet grass, with white plastic threads worked in for added strength and durability. It takes 2–3 days to weave one by hand.

Choose your size

  • Large (20" H x 16" W): Tall enough to work as a laundry or towel hamper in the bathroom, or as a catch-all for scarves and hats by the door.
  • Medium (18" H x 14" W): Great for throw pillows, blankets, toys, or anything you’d like out of sight in the living room or bedroom.

Women Weavers of Senegal

📍Mekhe, Senegal

" Weaving brings us together"

The master weavers of Mekhe, Senegal carry forward a generations-old basketry tradition passed from mother to daughter in rural communities just outside Dakar. Working in small cooperative groups, these skilled artisans create each basket entirely by hand, weaving together exceptional craftsmanship with deep cultural heritage. As mothers, sisters, and community leaders, their work helps sustain their families while preserving an enduring craft. We have had the privilege of building a relationship with these artisans for over six years, and their artistry continues to inspire us. Each basket is not only beautifully functional, but a meaningful piece of handcrafted art that brings the story of its maker into your home.
