This oversized basket from Kenya provides versatile storage and striking style. Unstructured and woven from 100% sisal, the basket must be stuffed full to remain upright: think blankets and pillows, other oversized storage, or your most massive potted house plant!

Due to the large size and unstructured nature of this basket, it will ship flattened and will need to be shaped upon arrival.
