Highlights
The Baobab tree, sometimes known as the “Spirit Tree,” holds a special place in many African cultures. It is associated with stories, legends and spiritual traditions, and is sometimes regarded as a connection between the physical and spiritual worlds.
For generations, communities have valued the Baobab tree for many purposes. It provides fruit, traditional medicine, body oils and natural fibres used to create functional accessories—including these beautifully handwoven bags.
HOW THE BAG IS MADE
This tribal basket bag is handwoven from natural fibres harvested from baobab bark. The harvesting process does not destroy the tree; its bark regenerates and the fibres grow back.
After harvesting, the fibres are soaked in water to soften them before weaving. Skilled Kenyan artisans then weave the fibres entirely by hand, gradually forming the bag and creating its distinctive geometric patterns.
The warm brown shades come from dyeing the fibres with boiled tree bark. Some fibres are left in their original natural cream or off-white color, producing a beautiful contrast within the design.
Because each bag is individually made by hand, no two patterns are exactly alike.

PLEASE NOTE
