Handwoven Planter Basket

Handwoven Planter Basket

Some things are made slowly, and you can feel it. Strand by strand, umtsala grass and ilala palm are coiled and woven by hand into this planter basket, crafted by a women-led social enterprise across Eswatini and KwaZulu-Natal. The golden, earthy fibres carry the warmth of the sun that grew them, and the weave tells of skills passed from one generation to the next.

Set it on a sun-washed terrace, beside a stone doorway or in a quiet corner of the villa, and let it cradle an olive tree, trailing ivy or a clutch of fragrant herbs. Every basket is one of a kind and imperfectly perfect.

Dimensions: approx 34 cm (W) x 35 cm (H)
