Highlights

A handwoven basket crossbody in black with a tan strap, made in Tanzania. Compact, hands-free, and made by hand for everyday wear.

Handwoven by a collective of women in Iringa, Tanzania, led by Catherine Shembilu of Vikapu Bomba. Many of the weavers are widows, and this smaller crossbody shape grew out of the same tradition as the market baskets, just built for hands-free everyday wear. 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 crossbody with a tan strap
- Compact, hands-free carry for everyday wear
- Tan leather flap; adjustable strap; buckle closure
- The maker's own label is sewn in, alongside ours

SIZE (approximate): 7.1 in wide x 8.7 in tall x 2.8 in deep (18 x 22 x 7 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.
