The hampers are woven in rural Senegal using natural grasses and thin strips of plastic. Featuring varying patterns, each set is similar to those pictured and yet completely unique. These beautifully crafted baskets brighten any room of your home while providing an impressive amount of storage.

Since 2008, Swahili has worked with a group of talented Wolof weavers in remote Senegal to design hampers and baskets woven from the salvaged plastic strips and cattail stalks. First introduced by the Peace Corps, Swahili and more than 120 Wolof women prove that cooperative, home-based craft export is an excellent way for rural women to earn fair trade incomes that build healthy communities.
