African laundry hampers also serve well as storage baskets for blankets and linens in the bedroom. Each wolof basket is woven by a Senegalese woman from recycled plastic strips used in the production of prayer mats and a natural grass called njodax. The baskets feature a snug-fitting lid, braided handles and a classic woven pattern. A beautiful and functional way to bring modern African style to your home!
