Palm Leaf Storage Basket 15"

This sturdy basket is handwoven by women working with Prokritee in rural Bangladesh. The Palm Leaf Storage Basket 15" is a minimalist, appealing and ethical way to corral clutter in any room. Linens in the closet, picture books on the floor, or stray cables in the office will all land out of sight with the help of this natural fiber basket.

Who Made It: Prokritee (meaning "nature" in Bengali) manages several handicraft enterprises and helps other groups sell their products in local and foreign markets. Prokritee and its enterprises provide jobs for poor rural women. By providing jobs for women, Prokritee improves women’s standard of living and helps them send their children to school. The organization provides skills development training to artisans. Prokritee creates and promotes income–generating projects that benefit the artisans, adhere to good safety and environmental standards, and have the potential to become self–reliant. Prokritee was established in 2001 as an independent organization. Ten Thousand Villages has purchased products from Prokritee and its predecessor MCC Bangladesh since 1986.
