Small and practical basket from Mifuko. The size is perfect for storing small items such as kitchen utensils, hand towel, fruit, snacks as well as keeping things tidy on the desk.

The basket is handwoven from wool yarn and paper yarn, which makes them flexible and soft to the touch. Wool is known as an insulating, durable and easy-care natural material. The wool Mifuko uses is surplus wool from the carpet industry. The paper used is FSC certified and can be recycled.

The basket is handmade in Kenya.

Mifuko was started by two friends from Finland who studied arts and crafts together at the University of Helsinki. The idea of ​​Mifuko was born at a market in Nairobi, Kenya where they were both amazed by the quality of the products they saw and an idea to share it with a wider audience was born. Minna and Mari founded Mifuko with a clear goal: to combine Nordic design and traditional African craftsmanship to form a business that directly benefits the people of rural Kenya.

It has been important to the founders of Mifuko that the company should look after and improve the welfare and living conditions of women in Africa. Mifuko is a verified Fairtrade company and all the products that are made are unique and signed by the craftsman who made the individual product.

In Swahili, Mifuko means pocket - and the idea behind choosing the name was that you don't want anyone to be left with empty pockets.
