About the process

About the process

Each ASIGE basket is entirely handmade, from the harvesting of elephant grass to the careful weaving and finishing. The process begins in local fields, where elephant grass is gathered, dried, and split into fine strands.

In village settings, artisans then twist, dye, and weave each piece by hand, shaping it into distinctive forms. The work requires precision, patience, and collaboration, done in small community groups where skills are passed from one generation to the next.
