SELVEDGE CHRISTMAS FAIR INTRODUCES THE BASKET ROOM
Beautiful handwoven baskets, bags, and accessories, handcrafted by women’s cooperatives in Africa, The Basket Room's colourful woven collections will be on sale at our upcoming Selvedge Christmas Fair on 2 December.
With sustainability at the core of everything they do, their African woven baskets are kind on the planet and good for the soul. They provide opportunities for weavers in rural areas while bringing contemporary colour to every corner of the home.
An ethical home interiors brand inspired by fashion, creativity, and sustainability, The Basket Room is committed to empowering women in rural Africa while bringing consciously created products to modern living spaces and contemporary homes. It is a company almost a decade in the making, and it all started with a road trip from South Africa to Nairobi.
Holly McMullen, the CEO of The Basket Room, embarked on her journey into ethical African textiles while travelling the continent with her father in 2006. Six years later, while studying fashion design, she met co-founder Camilla Sutton, and the idea of The Basket Room was born.
Today, The Basket Room is the home of African woven baskets in the UK. Our collections inspire interior designers and homemakers worldwide; our commitment to sustainability makes us a leader in ethical home accessories.
