White Lidded Keup Basket with Indigo Fabric Trim and Leather Tassel

This is our fresh white KEUP range trimmed with a gorgeous deep blue Indigo cloth from Mali. They would look great arranged as a group of 3 or individually in a kitchen or bathroom space. 

• Keup baskets are handwoven from reeds grown in the Gambia and intertwined with discarded plastic mats. Handmade in Senegal. Leather from St Louis, Senegal.

• Indigo fabric was the foundation of the textile traditions in West Africa. It’s made from Bogolanfini (Mud cloth) handcrafted from cotton fabric which is dyed using the process of fermented mud. It’s a time consuming process requiring more intense dying process than other Bogolanfini cloths. The various patterns and symbols seen on the fabric were traditionally a form of communication, conveying stories of the craftspeople to other villages.
