The Fineweave Basket is a unique, handwoven sisal piece crafted in the Taita Hills of Kenya. Made with extra fine twine and a high-density weave, these baskets are time-consuming to create and showcase the skill passed down through generations of Taita women. Using a mixture of artificial and natural dyes from local trees, plants, and soil, each basket is one-of-a-kind, reflecting the artistic expression of the weaver. 100% natural and beautifully detailed.
Perfect for storing trinkets, toothbrushes and small kitchen items like garlic bulbs.
Hadithi baskets are made from sisal grass and natural materials. We have included a plastic lining so that the basket can be used as a plant pot.
This product is designed for longevity, reuse, and recycling. Since they are made from biodegradable materials like grass, they return to the earth after their useful life.
We tried to source a recycled plastic lining for this collection however it proved very challenging. Plastic bags have been banned in Kenya since 2017 and therefore are a scarce resource. We are working with Hadithi’s design team to improve this aspect of the product in our next collection.
This basket is made entirely by hand from locally sourced grasses in the Tsavo National Park of Kenya. No electricity is used in it's production, aside from the power used at the office. At Tomorrows, we offset carbon produced in the shipment from Kenya to Europe.
Hadithi provides fair wages, sustainable income, and opportunities for growth.
By purchasing this basket, you are helping to keep the art of Taita basketry and the livelyhoods it supports alive.
By supporting over 1,840 female artisans, the brand positively impacts more than 10,000 people in the Tsavo region.

Hadithi Basket Weavers create beautiful, handcrafted baskets using sisal fibers, which are either grown on their own farms or sourced from local estates in the coastal province. The process begins with extracting fibers from the sisal plant, which are then rolled into twine.
The Taita women of the Kasigau Weaver’s Group dye the fibers and roll the twine by hand. This labor-intensive art results in vibrant baskets featuring a variety of colors and patterns, each design uniquely reflecting their craftsmanship.
