Binga Baskets

Our range of African Binga baskets (also known as Tonga baskets) come from the remote Binga district in Zimbabwe – home to the baTonga people.

Using weaving techniques passed through generations, the women of Tonga create the subtle intricately patterned baskets from dried ilala palm leaves. Traditionally these were used for winnowing grains but are now also planted by the women for the purpose of basket making.
Each individual design is one of a kind, equally celebrated & acting as a brand stamp of the individual artisan and their craft.
It takes approximately two weeks to complete a basket about 35 cm in diameter.

Both stylish and functional these traditional baskets can be used in a variety of ways. Hang them in groups of varying sizes at staggered heights to create a custom wall feature. Make use as a gorgeous fruit basket, a piece for tabletop styling or placed behind decor to add further depth, dimension & height.

Create your own collection of sizes, Use the complete set to seperate & bring consistency to your home, or position together for a large statement wall feature.
