This small Zulu wire basket combines traditional skills with modern materials. It is hand-woven from plastic coated electrical and telephone wires, a time consuming process that requires both skill and strength. It is approximately 2" deep by 4.5" in diameter, with a silver, purple, blue, and copper swirl design. This petite basket is a fair trade product from South Africa. It is the perfect size for holding keys, coins, or a watch, and can be hand-washed as needed.
About the brand: African Creative was founded in 2004 in Cape Town, South Africa by a local musician seeking to link local artisans to global markets.

In 2013 African Creative launched The Locked Horn Project to raise funds to combat rhinoceros poaching, and it is a supporter of SANCCOB, a South African non-profit organization that works to conserve marine life.
