Make shopping a breeze with these light and durable market baskets featuring comfortable leather handles. They are also great for storing toys, magazines, newspapers, knitting projects and transporting recyclables. These products are handwoven from strong reed, milulu grass. This reed grows naturally in tropical wetlands and is woven into baskets using a traditional weaving technique in the village of Iringa, Tanzania. Milulu grass changes color over time. When the product is first woven, the grass is greenish in color. The color changes to a light natural color within 1-2 months. The handles and straps of Mifuko products are made from locally sourced leather. The leather is vegetable tanned, a process that uses organic materials and natural tannins derived from the bark, leaves and branches of trees and plants.

Do not scrub the surface, machine wash, spin dry or tumble dry. Allow to air dry to avoid deformation. As each basket is handmade the size and shape may vary.
