Grey With White And Blue Stripes. The Douwe Basket.
These Douwe baskets are slightly different from our standard baskets. Instead of leather handles they have handles made from repurposed matting.
- The main part of the basket is handwoven and made from reeds grown in the Gambia and intertwined with discarded plastic mats.
- The baskets are handwoven and will have imperfections. They are not mass produced in a factory where absolute perfection is machine achieved. We believe handcrafted imperfections make the product beautiful and unique.
- Made by IMADI WORLD basket weavers in Senegal.
Dimensions
Dimensions are not uniform and will vary between 5-10%. Baskets are woven by many weavers living in different villages. They will have their own technique and style but will try their best to weave to a “ standard”
