Black Checkerboard Medium Peace Corps Lidded Hamper Basket

Description

This beautiful medium black checkerboard Peace Corps laundry hamper is handcrafted by a network of more than 100 rural Wolof women in Senegal, West Africa. Named after the Peace Corps volunteers that help Senegal’s rural artisans organize their crafting efforts for sales and export.

• Dimensions: Highly durable, it is approximately 18 inches in diameter x 18 inches high with the lid.
• Features: The basket features a flat lid and checkerboard pattern. Note: Checkerboard hampers do not have cutout handles like the other Peace Corps hampers.
• Materials: Woven from a local grass called typha (cattails) and strips of plastic. The plastic strips are from recycled old prayer mats or purchased new from a mat factory in Dakar.
• Artisan Crafted: Since every piece is handmade, the basket you receive may vary slightly from the one pictured. An informational hang tag is attached for gift giving.
