exclusive series of high quality berber baskets - unique to a specific region and community: mostly big, sturdy, in beautiful intricate patterns and an unusually large mix colors
Last June, our road trip through the enchanting south of Morocco led us to a hidden gem – a small village where an age-old tradition of basket weaving once thrived, but had slowly faded into the annals of history.
As we delved deeper into their world, we heard their heartfelt stories about the challenges of rebuilding their beloved Kasbah, the heart of their community. Touched by their determination, we decided to join hands. Through face-to-face conversations and a mutual trust that grew stronger with each passing day, we embarked on a remarkable journey.
We pledged to support their craftsmanship and made a promise to buy all of their new baskets. The incredible result? The talented female weavers from four neighboring villages rekindled their time-honored craft!
Today, we stand with immense pride, presenting to you their exquisite handiwork. These baskets are not just pieces of art; they are the embodiment of resilience, tradition, and hope 🇲🇦✨
What makes this story even more extraordinary is that, through rediscovering their long-forgotten specialty, these villages have breathed new life into their income streams, fueling the restoration of their beloved, weathered Kasbah.
It's a tale of rejuvenation, where tradition meets progress, and history is rewritten with every carefully woven strand.
Join us in celebrating this journey of revival, empowerment, and exquisite beauty.
