Handwoven Lidded Laundry Basket Green/Coral/Navy Each of these baskets is handmade and completely unique. They are made in Ghana by one of Fra Fra Baskets expert weavers and each takes approximately 3 days to complete. Woven from Veta Vera Grass these not only look beautiful but are strong, sturdy and light. About Fra Fra Baskets: Beautiful and unique each of these lidded laundry baskets have been produced using sustainably sourced Veta Vera Grass that grows abundantly in central Ghana and can grow several meters high. The leather handles come from locally bred goats primarily bred for their meat, the skin is not wasted but dried and used. Frafra Baskets are handwoven, each unique in colour and pattern. Prep work, such as drying, dying, splitting, and rolling the grasses, is done collectively. However, each basket is woven by a single weaver. Weavers start at the base of a basket, carefully adding and taking away grasses to get the desired shape and pattern. Thicker edges are sometimes added to the top before the handles are made. Once the basket is fully formed, blades are used to cut the excess strands around the basket. The handles are then wrapped in leather by tanners. Women predominantly weave basket bags and other accessories, whereas the more structured doubly woven baskets, such as dog baskets and laundry baskets, are woven by men because they require far more physical strength. Not one basket is alike in colour and pattern, so you will have a unique basket. All weavers are paid a fair wage and that working conditions are safe and comfortable.
