Highlights
A black handwoven basket backpack from Tanzania. Sturdy, hands-free, and made for everyday carry, travel, or a day at the market.
Handwoven by a collective of women in Iringa, Tanzania, led by Catherine Shembilu of Vikapu Bomba. Many of the weavers are widows who reshaped the traditional market basket into a hands-free everyday bag. Each one takes about a week to make. We're not just selling a bag, we're sharing a culture we love.
FEATURES
- Woven from milulu grass, a reed-like grass gathered along the rivers of Tanzania's southern highlands and dried in the sun
- Handwoven black basket backpack
- Cognac leather straps; top handles; brass-tone buckles; Africa tag
- The maker's own label is sewn in, alongside ours
SIZE (approximate): 13 in wide x 13 in tall x 5.3 in deep (33 x 33 x 13.5 cm). Height does not include handles or straps.
CARE: Spot clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Keep out of prolonged direct sun and standing water to protect the natural fiber and color. Store stuffed with tissue to help it hold its shape between wears.
SHIPPING: Ships from our home base in Denver, Colorado. Free shipping within the US.
Every basket is woven by hand, so yours will be one of a kind. Expect small, beautiful variations in weave, color and shape. That's the mark of something made by real hands, not a flaw.
