Description

Bring a touch of natural and sustainable elegance to your home with the Makenge basket. Handwoven by talented artisans, this unique and eco-friendly basket is made from natural materials and pays homage to the tradition of African weaving. Perfect for lovers of ethical decor, unique design, and cultural crafts, it blends harmoniously into any nature-inspired interior.

Makenge baskets are a testament to the craftsmanship of the Mbundu and Losi peoples of Zambia. These baskets were originally used to sift grains for cooking. Some models in our collection still bear the traces of their use, with grains sometimes embedded in the weave.

The basket is made from the roots of the Makenge tree, a small tree with long, shallow roots. It is men who dig up these roots, whose fine hairs are then refined for weaving. After harvesting, the roots are boiled, dyed with natural pigments, and then dried. The creation of each basket requires several weeks of meticulous work, making each piece precious and unique.
