Meet the Artisans
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.
Our products will have slight variations in design and size, this is a natural occurrence in handmade goods and one of the many reasons we love them so.
No two designs will be exactly alike, giving you a lasting one-of-a-kind product to treasure for years to come.

Woven Basket
Absolutely love the basket and the fact that it was hand made! It’s perfect for my tall palm plant.
Natural Beauty
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! 😊
