With elaborate patterns in orange, black and natural, this tall woven basket is ideal for logs and kindling but can also be used as a laundry basket, a toy basket, or a storage basket for throws and blankets, yoga mats and workout equipment. Every log basket in this new collection is a one-off, designed by the weaver herself. The PAPINA log basket is handwoven from veta vera grass – a tall, tough and abundant material that’s sustainably sourced in Ghana. Weaving these log baskets brings women the unique opportunity to earn a second income, balancing their farming work, childcare and household duties within the supportive and ethical framework of the weaving cooperative they belong to. The cotton calico liners produced to fit our laundry baskets are manufactured by a social enterprise based in East London. These cotton liners are sewn by women facing multiple barriers to employment, being previously unemployed and with no prior work experience. These women have learnt exemplary sewing skills on free training programmes and now work to commission, costed at the London Living Wage. Choose to have your woven laundry basket with or without the liner!
