These straw baskets are made in a small village just outside Marrakech. They are then hand embroidered by local women who are working together to build a co-operative. The tassels are made by their daughters after school. By supporting the establishment of this co-operative, we are helping the women to fund their children’s education and improve their own living standards at the same time.
Each woman has a slightly different style of lettering and so every basket is unique.

Fantastic basket. Really well made with plenty of room for all our beach/pool towels and stuff.
Love the design and can’t wait to use it!
