Black Oval Basket - From the Hands of an Artisan Basket Weaver

Creating the Black Oval Basket is more than just weaving—it’s about preserving tradition, showcasing artistry, and crafting a piece that brings beauty and purpose to your home. Each basket is meticulously woven by Wolof women in rural Senegal, Africa, using millet grass and durable black plastic threads. This combination not only strengthens the basket but also adds a modern touch to its timeless design.

As an artisan, every weave is a reflection of skill and heritage. The minimalist design speaks to a contemporary aesthetic, while the handmade process ensures that each basket is truly one-of-a-kind. Whether you're using it to store towels, organize throw pillows, or even collect toys, this basket seamlessly blends functionality with style.

Supporting this basket means more than just adding a beautiful piece to your space—it means supporting the women who dedicate their craft to creating sustainable, high-quality items. Each basket carries the story of the hands that made it and the traditions that shaped it.

With dimensions of 11” in height, 18.5” in width, and 15” in depth, and weighing 3 lbs, the Black Oval Basket is a versatile and elegant addition to any room. Let it be a part of your home, knowing it was crafted with care, skill, and a deep connection to the earth.
