These unique baskets are made of sisal by African craftsmen. Sisal is a tropical fiber made from the agave plant. The fiber from which rope is made is extracted from the leaves of this plant. Sisal rope is dyed with natural dye in a neutral sand color after which it is woven into a basket.

Basket weaving is a tradition in the Kamba & Taita Culture. The sisal basket weavers come from remote areas of the eastern and coastal provinces of Kenya.

The baskets are made by Basket Weaver Women's Groups in rural villages. Most groups meet every two weeks to weave baskets together. They continue to weave when they are at home, on the bus or walking to neighbours.
