The weavers meet under these two trees in this village to work on their baskets. By meeting together like this, they can visit as they work and also the children are able to play together. You can see how arid the environment is and how difficult the farming must be. Basket weaving provides a much-needed income for many families in this region. All of our baskets are hand woven by villagers using natural, locally available materials. Most of the weavers are members of grass-roots cooperatives, pooling their resources and talents to produce the best possible baskets.

Please note, Earthetarian is selling leather free, 20” x 15” x 17” round baskets. The colors are assorted, depending on the artisans whim and what colors dye pots they have going at the time. All stunning. I got one of these as a wedding gift and it was probably my favorite gift.
