Our hand woven prayer mat knitting baskets have become so popular, we decided it only made sense to add a smaller sewing basket to the collection. Woven from cattail stalks and strips of silver and white plastic that are either salvaged from fraying prayer mats and rugs or purchased new at a Dakar mat factory, this little sewing basket is crafted to beautifully stow your hand sewing or to hold objects on the tabletop in any room of the home. Swahili Imports has been working with artisans across Africa to create modern African gifts and home decor using sustainable natural and recycled materials. As a member of the Fair Trade Federation, Swahili Imports supports cottage industry as a positive element of people-centered development in Africa.
