About the Artisans:

In the rural Kenyan countryside around the city of Kitui, women specialize in weaving the tough fibers of the agave sisalana plant. Sisal's spiky leaf clusters erupt from a dry landscape and often requires long journeys to gather. Once woven, these womens' totes are sold to local and international markets. Singing, dancing, and chatting make weaving for export an enjoyable social event!

Talented basket weavers in Ghana's northern region weave this beautiful accessory from thick, tough elephant grass. Featuring a soft leather braided strap that secures the sliding lid, this purse is sure to become a staple accessory.
