African baskets

Looking for unique African baskets and bowls?
Browse our collection and discover handmade pieces full of character.

Our African baskets and bowls are woven by hand using seagrass and recycled plastic. Each piece is one-of-a-kind in shape and finish. Perfect as a laundry basket, storage basket, waste bin, planter, or fruit bowl – both at home and in commercial spaces.

These traditional pieces are made in rural communities across Africa under Fair Trade principles, mostly by women. By producing these baskets, artisans develop valuable skills and gain better opportunities for the future.

Note: Seagrass is a natural material. When new, it may appear slightly green – this will naturally fade into a warm golden tone over time.

Since every basket is handcrafted, slight variations in shape and detail are part of their charm

Want to reshape your basket a little? Simply wet it under the shower and gently mould it into the desired shape. This also works for lids that fit too tightly – dampen the lid and basket, place the lid on top, and let it sit for 24 hours. It will naturally adapt to the shape.

We offer:

Laundry baskets in various sizes and colours

Traditional tajine baskets

Storage baskets

Small bijoux baskets – ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, bedrooms or living rooms

Bring warmth, function and authentic craftsmanship into your home with handmade African baskets and bowls. Each piece tells a story.

In addition to its range of handmade African baskets, Seda’s Miracle also offers a variety of beautiful Moroccan baskets.
The difference? Moroccan baskets are made with wool instead of recycled plastic, giving them a softer, warmer look.
