The Basket Room Dioro Pet Bed Small, Turquoise/Red
These stunning and unique Pet Baskets are woven from indigenous veta vera grasses in Northern Ghana - also known as Elephant Grass. Each basket takes up to three days to weave by hand, indeed the whole production process is lengthy.
The Ghanaian grass is harvested, split, hand-rolled, and dyed before a skilled weaver from the weaving cooperative sets to work. The majority of these weavers are men, having been taught the age-old art of basket weaving from their mothers and fathers. Agricultural work is the mainstay of most weavers’ family incomes, but poor rainfall and drought make life extremely challenging.
