This sturdy and comfortable tote basket is a perfect fit for shopping, going to the beach or on a picnic. The basket woven out of natural elephant grass is light, but thanks to its goatskin handles also durable, holding heavier items, too. It t is also perfect for storing magazines waiting to be read, towels in the bathroom or hiding the hats and scarves that tend to pile up in the hallway.

This basket is a Mamaa product, made by weaver Agnes from the Yeng Pang Basket Weavers cooperative in Kongo village Northern Ghana.

Made of natural veta vera grass straw, handles are covered with goatskin. Avoid long-time use in humid conditions. Should the basket loose its shape, hydrate it lightly, and restore its initial form. Allow it to dry in a well-ventilated room. Colors may fade in contact with direct sunlight. Caution this product may splinter!

Dimensions: width 36cm, height (with handle) 47cm
