Mifuko's baskets are fantastic. Not only are they made from sisal and 80% recycled food-grade plastics. They are made by women's self-help groups in rural villages and small workshops in cities in Kenya. Using traditional Kenyan craftsmanship combined with contemporary Scandinavian design, they are easy to maintain, durable and versatile and will keep your home organised and make fabulous companions at the beach or out and about town.

Make a statement with this stylish and spacious shopper basket! Perfect for any occasion, from shopping and picnics to the beach, this basket will hold all your essentials and new purchases. The long leather straps make it easy and comfortable to carry on your shoulder. This bag has leather straps for closure.

Mifuko's products are produced following the principles of fair trade. Their partner self-help groups and workshops employ slum youth, people with disabilities and people with economically disadvantaged rural backgrounds.

All Mifuko products are handmade. There isn’t a lot of money invested - materials and skilled hands are all that is needed. By demand, maintaining a traditional skill pays off and is passed on to the younger generation. For the artisans, Mifuko is an opportunity to improve their skills and invest in their workshops for increased income.

Mifuko is a certified member of the World Fair Trade Organization WFTO.
