Made with cattail stalks and upcycled plastic strips 22T x 18.5W x 18.5D � Sold individually � Handcrafted by artisans in Senegal African laundry hampers bring amazing artisan craftsmanship into all living spaces. These laundry hampers are handwoven by an association of more than 100 rural Wolof women in the West African nation of Senegal. Wolof women in the West African nation of Senegal update traditional coil weaving methods by enlivening natural grass baskets with colorful strips of plastic salvaged from a mat factory. Cattails grow abundantly in rural Senegal, so women can earn a sustainable income from basket weaving while enriching homes around the world with modern African craftsmanship. Because this is a handcrafted item, each will vary slightly. *By law, containers shipped from Africa are fumigated. Other than the fumigation process, the fibers are not treated with any other chemicals.
