Round White Handwoven Statement Basket with Leather Trim – NDAR
Round White Handwoven Statement Basket with Leather Trim – NDAR
Handwoven in Senegal, the NDAR basket is a sculptural statement piece inspired by traditional water vessels. Its rounded, generous shape makes it both practical and decorative — designed to sit beautifully on the floor while offering versatile storage for modern living.
Crafted from ethically sourced sweet grass and finished with leather trims made from off-cuts, each basket celebrates slow craft, heritage and thoughtful design.
Inspired by tradition
Known by Wolof weavers as “Ndar”, meaning water jug, this basket’s curved form echoes the pottery vessels once used to carry and store water. Each piece carries with it a story of tradition, skill and craftsmanship passed down through generations.
Functional yet beautiful
Designed as a statement floor basket, the NDAR works perfectly for:
- Laundry or linens
- Blankets and throws
- Toys or everyday clutter
- Styling in hallways, bedrooms or living spaces
A functional object that doubles as a piece of art.
The beauty of handmade
Every basket is individually handwoven, meaning no two are exactly the same.

- Natural marks and variations are part of the weave
- These are signs of authentic craftsmanship, not flaws
