This amply-sized laundry hamper basket features braided upcycled plastic handles and a snug-fitting removable lid. Wolof women in the West African nation of Senegal hand-weave these baskets in the traditional coil weaving method using natural grass. Interweaving colorful strips of plastic, salvaged from a mat factory in Dakar, the weavers brighten up the baskets and create beautiful designs. They are truly a work of art.

Responsibly sourced and thoughtfully crafted with cattail stalks and recycled salvage plastic by Fair Trade artisans in Senegal. Cattails grow abundantly in rural Senegal, making this natural grass a sustainable choice. The Wolof women earn a sustainable income from basket weaving, while enriching homes around the world with modern African craftsmanship.

"Wolof women take pride in their craftsmanship and ability to help provide for their families using this traditional skill."

Home Care: To lightly clean a Senegal basket, simply wipe with a damp cloth to clean the plastic. To reshape a Senegal basket, apply gentle pressure to achieve the desired shape. For example, a large hamper may start to lean slightly over time; you can reshape it by laying the basket on its side, removing the lid, and gently pressing with both hands. We do not recommend wetting or saturating your Senegalese basket. The thick coils of grass are likely to mold before they fully dry.
