Our Artisans - Natti, Ami, Fatou, & Sofi.

Almost every basket on planet earth, is made completely by hand. Think about that for a second... Baskery is most definitely an art. It’s a skill that is passed down from  generation to generation. We love creating our pieces and we hope that they bring positivity in every space that they inhabit.
