| All baskets in Africa serve a purpose; to winnow grain, to transport or store goods - even beer! Yes, Zulu baskets are so well woven that they can store liquid. Depending on climatic region, traditional baskets are made from grasses, reeds, palm or fibrous succulents such as agaves. Basket making has also evolved to make use of modern materials, such as plastic and telephone wire. |
Decorative |
|
 |
Bowls and plates from Zimbabwe, Zambia, Ethiopia, Swaziland, Botswana and Uganda are perfect as centrepieces, filled with decorations or fruit (they are also really useful near the door for keys) - or they can be displayed to great effect on the wall. Telephone wire baskets from South Africa add a splash of colour and a conversation piece, whilst the world famous Zulu baskets are art pieces in their own right. |

Named after the region in Ghana from which they originate, our 'Bolga' market baskets are a great environmentally friendly alternative to plastic, and the re-useable fabric shopping bags on offer. Woven from savannah grass, dyed in a variety of patterns and colours, and finished with genuine leather handles, these durable baskets are perfect for multiple uses - such as the storage of magazines and toys. |
