Fair Trade - Handmade in Kenya
Make shopping a breeze with these sturdy and durable market baskets featuring comfortable leather handles.
They are also great for storing toys, magazines, newspapers, knitting projects and transporting recyclables.
These products are handwoven from lightweight and durable paper. Paper is a beautiful and environmentally friendly material that can be fully recycled at the end of its lifecycle. The paper we use is FSC certified. Products made of paper do not tolerate soaking but can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Do not scrub the surface, machine wash, spin dry or tumble dry. Allow to dry in a warm place, but not in direct sunlight.
The handles and straps of our products are made from locally sourced leather. The leather is vegetable tanned, a process that uses organic materials and natural tannins derived from the bark, leaves and branches of trees and plants.
As each basket is handmade the size and shape may vary.
Mifuko Kiondo baskets are folded for transport to save space. You can shape the basket by spraying it lightly with water and then shaping it by hand.
