Description

This Pokot Handwoven Storage Basket is crafted by women artisans in West Pokot, Kenya, using natural sisal and wild grasses, coiled and stitched entirely by hand. Once essential in every household for storing grains and flour, these baskets protected families through dry seasons and carried bead accents symbolizing blessings like rain, peace, and harvest. Beyond their utility, they are powerful symbols of sustainability, care, and cultural identity. Today, they bring both practical storage and authentic décor to modern homes. Every purchase supports women’s cooperatives, funds education, and sustains traditional weaving practices.
