Please note
Each basket is woven and finished by hand, so the weave, the metallic finish and the scarf pattern vary a little from the photograph.
Cultural context & artisan story
Woven basket bags are everyday objects in Kenya before they are fashion, carried to the market and to the shore, and the shape here is unchanged from that: a wide mouth, a flat base, and handles long enough to clear a shoulder. What has been added is the finish, a metallic treatment on the lower weave and a printed trim, which is how Nairobi makers have been taking the everyday basket into something you would carry in a city.

Product description
Overview
A woven straw basket bag with a metallic silver blue lower body, a light blue fabric trim at the top, rope handles bound in matching print, and a striped turquoise and tan scarf tied at the front. The scarf is the part worth knowing about. It is tied through a dark band with a buckle rather than stitched on, so you can untie it and wear it, or take it off altogether and have a plain metallic basket instead. That makes this closer to two bags than one. It is a market and beach shape, wide at the mouth and flat at the base so it stands up when you put it down, and it measures around 35cm by 45cm. Spot clean the fabric and keep the straw dry. If the weave loses its shape, pack it out rather than folding it.
