Medium Ethiopian Woven Basket
This medium basket features two brown leather handles stitched directly into the woven grass. The body is made in Ethiopia from natural dry grass and the handles are cut from brown genuine leather. Unlike baskets with tied or knotted handles, these handles are stitched flat against the grass for a cleaner look and a more comfortable grip. Use it to carry bread to the table, hold fruit in your kitchen, or take it to the market for shopping. The natural grass gives a warm golden brown color and the dark brown leather handles add a simple contrast. The medium size fits comfortably in one hand or over your arm. No machines or factories.

Ethiopian Woven Storage Basket
Ethiopian Woven Storage Basket, handwoven from dry grass with tied genuine leather handles. This handwoven basket features a unique leather handle design. Unlike standard baskets where handles attach at the top rim, these genuine leather handles are tied further down below the rim. This creates a deeper basket with a different look and feel. The basket is made in Ethiopia from natural dry grass woven entirely by hand. The body is tall and sturdy. The leather handles are hand cut, knotted, and secured below the rim so the basket opens wider at the top while keeping the handles low for easy carrying. This design works especially well for storing blankets, pillows, towels, or other soft items that need a deeper basket.

About Ethiopia
Ethiopia's creative tradition
Ethiopia has one of the oldest continuous craft traditions on the continent, and its basketry is the clearest expression of it. Grass and palm fibre are coiled by hand into vessels banded with colour, each one built up row by row over days rather than hours.
Beyond basketry, Ethiopian craft runs through hand-spun cotton weaving, leatherwork and homeware shaped for daily use rather than display. Shopping made-in-Ethiopia on Sokofa connects you directly with the makers who still work these traditions by hand.

Common questions
About buying ethiopia products online
What types of Ethiopian products can I buy on Sokofa?
Sokofa carries authentic Ethiopian handcrafted goods, led by hand-coiled grass baskets in the sebeta and Harari traditions: serving baskets, lidded storage baskets, laundry baskets and smaller jewellery baskets, alongside hand-spun cotton weaving and artisan homeware.
What is an Ethiopian mesob or serving basket?
Ethiopian serving baskets are hand-coiled from dried grass and palm fibre, often in bold concentric bands of colour. The large pedestal form, the mesob, traditionally holds injera and is set at the centre of a shared meal, so the weaving is made to be looked at as much as used.
Are Ethiopian products on Sokofa authentic?
Yes. Every seller on Sokofa is verified before their products go live. We confirm seller identity, product origin and craftsmanship, so every purchase supports the Ethiopian artisan who made the piece.
