Each region has its own baskets

Basket making in Africa is an ancient tradition passed down from mother to daughter. As a result, each region has its own unique way of making baskets. To do this, they use the materials found in the area. For example, Kenyan baskets are made from sisal (fibers from the agave plant) and Ghanaian baskets are made from elephant grass.

Preserving a wonderful tradition

Yet the tradition of basket weaving is in danger of being lost. These baskets were mainly made to transport the harvest. Today, they use plastic bags for this purpose because they are cheaper and easier to make. Thus, this beautiful craft is in danger of being lost. With Mambo Baskets, we want to help preserve this by selling the beautiful baskets in Europe as well.
