The MTOTO moses basket sports bright pink stripes that pop on a natural base and soft cream carry handles made from sustainably-sourced goat’s leather.
The weavers who produce these Moses baskets work as part of a talented weaving co-operative in Northern Ghana. The majority of these weavers are men having been taught the age-old art of basket weaving from their own mothers and fathers. Agricultural work is the basis of most weavers’ incomes, but prolific drought makes it increasingly difficult for families to make ends meet. Basket weaving, and producing these exquisite woven Moses baskets, empowers women and men with the opportunity to earn a valuable second income.
Each Moses basket takes around three days to complete, using veta vera grass (also known as ‘elephant grass’) which grows wild in Ghana and produces wonderfully balanced and sturdy basketry.
Each basket comes with a foam mattress and cotton sheet. *Liner comes included as standard*
Material: Veta Vera Grass & Leather
Dimensions approx: W43cm x L80cm x H25cm (at hood) / W16" x L31" x H9" (at hood)
It must be noted that these baskets are not carrying devices and should only be used on the floor or on a flat surface when baby is inside.
