These stunning baskets are made from milulu grass, a reed-like swamp grass in East Africa. The beautiful neutral design can be incorporated into just about any home design.
Handmade in Iringa, Tanzania - home of the Hehe people. Rural artisan women have been beautifully handcrafting intricate work for over 60 years.
PLEASE NOTE: our baskets are shipped from our artisans packed down to save on shipping costs. Easily reshape your basket by spraying with water, press into shape by hand, then let dry.
About Iringa: The city of Iringa is about 300 miles from Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Home of the Hehe people, the town was initially built as a military base by the Germans in the 1890s as they sought to oppress the Hehe, led by the brave Chief Mkwawu. Today, Iringa is a thriving city populated by over 100,000 people.

★★★★★Jen L.I just received my second order, and I cannot express how happy I am with it. I ordered the long and the short brass wall sconces, candles, and the breathtaking votive candle chandelier. Everything came packaged very nicely and arrived in perfect condition.
★★★★★Maha H.Super inspired! Love what you do and offer and I hope to order as much as possible for my clients from you.
★★★★★Jennifer A.My infant daughter recently spent some time in the ICU and her kantha baby blanket was one of the only things of hers from home that we had with us. It was a source of comfort and kept her warm and swaddled her over the cords for her entire stay. We love Connected Goods and these blankets specifically.
★★★★★Ashley R.I just absolutely love everything about your company and what it stands for as well as the beauty, craftsmanship and quality of your products.
