These gorgeous coil baskets are hand made by a collective of 400 Craftswomen. The bags are naturally dyed, hand spun and woven using natural fibres including jute, cotton and leather. Ideal for storing bathroom bits, toys, kindling and logs. The baskets are rigid and free standing. The collective was formed by a NGO in southern India to provide sustainable livelihood projects for women who previously depended upon seasonal labour in drought prone areas. Each basket starts off life as raw jute which is then entwined to make rope. This is in then skilfully coiled to form the basket before further thread is added. Each piece takes and incredible amount of work and skill to complete. Also available in blue.
