These simple yet durable baskets are hand woven by women in rural Tanzania. Available in three sizes, they are useful in every room of the home. A beautiful open weave design gives each basket a beautiful lacy appearance.
About Iringa: The city of Iringa is situated about 300 miles from Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Home of the Hehe people, the town was originally built as a military base by the Germans in the 1890s as they sought to oppress the Hehe, led by the brave Chief Mkwawu. Today, Iringa is a thriving city populated by over 100,000 people. Woven from milulu grass, a reed-like swamp grass, Iringa baskets are an indispensable utility item in East Africa and around the world.

Love Notes From Our Community
Absolutely love the basket and the fact that it was hand made! It’s perfect for my tall palm plant.
I ordered a medium size basket and unfortunately it’s too large to use where planned. It’s such a beautifully crafted basket I won’t have any problems finding a use for it! 😊
★★★★★Kori H.This is STUNNING! Y'all have done it again! I am so impressed with your products and the artisans you partner with. These products are natural, beautiful, and unique. They hit on trends but also beautifully depict those that hand-make them. No questions, I just wanted you to know I am grateful to have found your shop! :)
★★★★★Kirsten M. C.There is so much I love about this company, including their intention, their support of small artisans and real people, along with quality and sustainable materials. Everything is beautiful and a work of art, including their brooms. The customer service is exceptional as well. I feel supported with every interaction. I will continue to support such a heart centered business that makes the world more beautiful.
★★★★★Jen L.I just received my second order, and I cannot express how happy I am with it. I ordered the long and the short brass wall sconces, candles, and the breathtaking votive candle chandelier. Everything came packaged very nicely and arrived in perfect condition.
★★★★★Maha H.Super inspired! Love what you do and offer and I hope to order as much as possible for my clients from you.
★★★★★Jennifer A.My infant daughter recently spent some time in the ICU and her kantha baby blanket was one of the only things of hers from home that we had with us. It was a source of comfort and kept her warm and swaddled her over the cords for her entire stay. We love Connected Goods and these blankets specifically.
★★★★★JanisConnected Goods is truly a personal, Family-Feeling Company. From beginning to the end of a transaction, and everything in between, Connect Goods Customer Service representatives are accessible, friendly, flexible and, most importantly, kind and understanding. I highly respect their business model of putting both their crafts-people and customers first and foremost, as well as going the extra mile to assure customer satisfaction, and feel-good future purchasing experiences.
