In Senegal, basket weaving is a tradition passed down for generations to women in rural villages to make extra income. Travelling there as a child, and many times since, I’ve always found these artisans and their craft so joyful. The dedication and community I felt watching them weaving with their children next to them, under a baobab tree, inspired me to launch La Basketry. La Basketry was launched in 2017 as an online boutique, offering baskets and unique woven products for the home designed by Mamy (my sister) and myself, all handwoven by a group of female artisans we had met and connected with in a small village outside of our parents’ hometown called Thies in Senegal. Baskets is a stylish guide to basket-making featuring 16 projects - think basket bags, tableware and storage baskets - using different materials. Today, La Basketry wants to celebrate all things woven – be it inspiring you to weave and craft your own creations at one of my workshops, or to purchase a beautiful piece made by a skilled artisan online.
