Each basket is meticulously woven over several weeks, with natural date palm leaves dyed using organic pigments in simple clay-lined pits. The weaver uses a figure-eight pattern to weave the vibrant, dyed leaves around wild river reeds. Skilled artisans change the colors throughout the process, creating an intricate design that reflects cultural significance. As the basket ages, the colors mellow, giving it a beautifully worn-in look.
Minor variations in color and material emphasize the handmade nature of each basket, making every one an original work of art. These fair-trade baskets support the livelihoods of skilled artisans, preserving traditional weaving techniques for generations to come.
