CHOOSE THE WORLD YOU WANT: FAIRTRADE FORTNIGHT 22ND FEB - 7TH MARCH 2021

Since Fairtrade Fortnight's aim this year is to highlight the challenges climate change presents to rural farmers, we’d like to show you a short film we have made about the chairlady of one of the basket weaving groups we work closely with in Kenya: Madam Dorcas Ndinda, a farmer and greengrocer.

Mother's Day - Three Generations of Weavers

Mother's Day - Three Generations of Weavers

The Basket Room Mother's Day Gift Ideas

Our Mother's Day collection includes some of our favourite baskets. Each one is lovingly handmade by women in rural Africa, who will have learnt the art of weaving from their Mothers and Grandmothers and in turn, will pass this age old tradition onto their own children.
