Our elegant black sisal market tote basket is perfect for a trip to the farmer's market or grocery store. Handwoven  by women in Kitui, a remote township in rural Kenya it has become a significant source for the women's income today through this fair trade initiative.

Sisal is a durable fiber and it is said that sisal plants were introduced to Kenya in the late 1800s during the time of the British rule. Women in this region are considered highly skilled basketweavers and have developed their traditional craft into these modern expressions of functionality and creativity.

*The tote bag measures 17 inches wide and 12 inches tall*
