This stylish all-natural set of two nesting baskets makes storage beautiful in any room of the home. Handwoven from durable veta vera grass, otherwise known as elephant grass, these timeless baskets are stylish and made to last.

Responsibly sourced and thoughtfully crafted with local elephant grass by Fair Trade artisans in Ghana. Starting from a small woven circle, Ghanaian basket weavers work their way out from a central point to reveal beautiful, distinctive baskets. The weaving of baskets in Ghana has been a traditional skill for many generations, and is often a communal process. The baskets are a reliable source of income for weavers and their families. Just as the baskets begin as a small circle and expand, so does the impact of purchasing fair trade items that directly benefit, support and empower the artisans who create them.
