Weaving Makenge Bush Root Baskets in Zambia
In the Western province of Zambia, not far from the border with Angola, the mostly Mbunda speaking people weave these ruggedly unique baskets.
These baskets are of a similar style to those woven in nearby Zimbabwe, but with a more rustic touch.

Received my basket this week and love it! California now charges for plastic bags, so I use my basket to avoid the fees. I've already gotten many compliments. Thank you! Kristin
OH!! I am SO excited! It's a Christmas present for someone who comes in on Saturday so I am so happy that it will be here before then. I want to surprise her at Christmas... Thank you!!! And thank you for having a website that we can order from! I saw the baskets at a great coffee shop a few weeks ago and kicked myself that I didn't pick one up then and there, so I was super thrilled that you have a website to order from!!! Lynn
