A product we carry a large assortment of sizes and colors in is our Zulu telephone wire baskets. The origins of these unique, decorative, sturdy baskets is men working in factories began weaving baskets from scrap telephone wire during their time off; the source of inspiration to the current day several hundred full time weavers of the Kwa-Zulu Natal South African artisans we get our baskets from. These beautiful baskets combine modern materials with traditional skill. The weavers of these baskets need significant hand and forearm strength required for the tightly woven patterns. Each basket is uniquely a one of a kind piece of work. Choose from small to large basket sizes to fit items such as jewelry, key chains, to small oranges. We hope you find a Zulu wire basket to brighten your home today at Tango Zulu!
