Phiri Basket, Natural - Malawi

The art of basketry was born out of the need to contain or carry everything- from water to mice.
Around the world different forms and techniques of basket-making evolved, depending on the materials available.
Today the art is threatened by the manufacture of metal & plastic containers.
Through our baskets we are reviving this craft with new, utilitarian products suitable for modern living.

Malawi’s artisans have a centuries-old craft tradition using natural resources and generations of indigenous knowledge. 

Malawi is one of the poorest countries on the planet. With your purchase you support to improve the lives of more than 600 Malawians: artisans, their families and their community members.
