I adore these prayer mat hampers, which look gorgeous when accenting contemporary or rustic décor. Functional and beautiful, they blend traditional weaving techniques with modern materials made from recycled prayer mats. The elaborate coil design, passed down through generations by Wolof women in rural Senegal, creates a streamlined silhouette. I find they are a creative storage solution—as strong and lovely as the women who create them. -JG
This gorgeous handmade African laundry hamper also serve well as potato and onion storage bins in the kitchen. Each basket is woven by a Wolof woman from plastic strips used in the production of bazin mats and a local grass called njodax in Wolof (the language spoken by most people in Senegal). Your basket features a snug-fitting lid, braided handles and a geometric woven pattern. A beautiful and functional way to bring modern African style to your home! 14" diameter and 21"-22" tall.
Other color ways and patterns are available by special order, please contact customer service.
