The Basket room is an ethical brand founded by Camilla and Holly, who met at fashion school back in 2014. They work with artisans and weaving co-operatives in East Africa to produce hand-made vessels which are perfect for storage or holding plants. The baskets are made with socio-economic impact at the fore. Buying each basket directly supports the weavers to increase their livelihoods and become less dependant on self-sufficiency farming, which is unreliable during dry seasons.
When it comes to materials, The Basket Room are meticulous, choosing raw organic plant fibres that are non-water and non-pesticide intensive. They use fibres local to where the baskets will be woven when possible, keeping emissions down and further boosting local economies. The natural range of baskets we have are either kept in their fibres hue or coloured using traditional plant dyeing techniques passed down through generations.
