The Basket Room
Oxfordshire-based The Basket Room specialises in ethically sourced, handwoven baskets and home accessories crafted in partnership with rural weaving cooperatives across Africa. Founded by Holly McMullen in 2014, The Basket Room collaborates with skilled artisans in countries such as Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania, and Swaziland, ensuring sustainable livelihoods though fair wages and ethical working conditions. The Basket Room’s woven dog baskets, bike baskets, tote bags and other homeware feature bold, artisanal patterns created using traditional weaving techniques. With sustainability at its heart, The Basket Room’s consciously crafted products use natural, local materials, chemical-free dyes and slow production methods.
