These gorgeous baskets are woven by master weavers, not only are they experts at what they do, they are also grannies, mothers, sisters, wives, friends working together in supporting themselves and each other.

The women weave baskets and other home products in their homes or under the shade of trees while chatting, in between the daily household and they are the backbone of their families and communities. This craft is passed down through generations of women in rural areas. While some of these communities do not have access to electricity and other modern conveniences, And the spirit of these women really translates into the energy these baskets carry.

 

The baskets are hand woven using (ilala) palm tree they harvested, and some buy it.
