This unique product is handmade using the age-old traditional technique of palm leaf weaving by the Touareg people of Northern Niger. The richly decorated silver disc at the heart of the basket symbolizes the sheer beauty of the setting sun, and the pure simplicity of the design results in a fine combination of Touareg culture and contemporary Dutch design.
The craftsmen and women who collaborate in this community project are paid a Fair Trade price for their products.
