Add a global touch to your space with these plant-based, handwoven baskets from Uganda. They’re durable and eye-catching, with a graphic pattern that stands out wherever they’re styled. We like them as a set of two in a living room or entryway.

Handwoven by a cooperative of twenty women, each basket takes weeks to complete. Made exclusively in a fair trade environment.

  • Medium: 13”W x 13”D x 8”H
    Large: 17”W x 17”D x 11”H
    Since each basket is handwoven, please expect some slight variation in size.

Fair Trade. Guaranteed. 100% of our products are made with a process guaranteed by the World Fair Trade Organization.

Our baskets are sturdy, strong, and flexible, made to withstand constant use. If properly cared for, your basket will live a long life. 

Dust your woven basket on a regular basis, wiping with a damp cloth if necessary. No other cleaning should be necessary.

Changes in temperature and humidity may cause your basket to expand and contract, which may make securing the lid difficult at times. Be patient and wait for the weather to change or remove from areas with high humidity (like bathrooms).

    $25 for most other returned orders
    $65
    if your return includes oversized items (area rugs, furniture, mirrors)

Most beautiful baskets ever!

The quality of these baskets are unmatched. The medium sized basket that I have is like a piece of art. I cannot wait to order the large size!

Nyumba Basket Set (Uganda)

Really great quality - they have a certain sort of density / heaviness that adds to the sturdiness of these baskets. Size feels as advertised — I’m very satisfied, based on what I’m using them for (miscellaneous storage). Very beautiful African handiwork.
