Iringa Floor Basket Natural with Handles Xxl

Our Iringa collection has Finnish design elements added to the traditional basket weaving technique in the village of Iringa in Tanzania. Made from natural milulu grass and produced by talented weavers, these baskets are both aesthetically pleasing and functional. XXL floor baskets are low and wide, ideal for storing large, bulky items like blankets and pillows. The colour of milulu grass changes over time. When the basket is first woven, the grass has a shade of green. Over time, the colour will change from green to brown as shown in the product images. This process typically takes 1-2 months.
