Zambian Makenge Basket
Our Makenge Baskets from Zambia come in a variety of shape, size, and design, often featuring different colours and intricate patterns that reflect the local culture and traditions. Some are large and robust, ideal for carrying heavier items, while others are more delicate and decorative, intended for display on shelves or hanging on walls.
These Makenge baskets are traditional handwoven creations all the way from Zambia, crafted from the makenge (or Mbengi) vine, which grows plentifully in the region. The vines are harvested, and their bark is carefully peeled and boiled to soften it. This process makes the material flexible, easier to work with, and more durable during the weaving process. Due to their handmade nature, no two baskets are the same and imperfections make for a more beautiful product.
