This beautiful bag is made using a sisal structure and recycled plastic. Kenya banned the use of one time use plastic bags about 5 years ago. The rope used in these bags is woven plastic from bags in some cases. They are super tough and easy to clean too. They will last a lifetime.
The natural colour of sisal is off white and the plastic bags are dyed charcoal grey or white in this case.
The trimmings and handles are leather which adds elegance and durability to each basket.
Since they are handmade you are not likely to get another one like it.
Women in rural Kenya to supplement their family income weave these adorable baskets. They are sourced at fair trade prices. A basket this size will take about 2 weeks to weave.
