Beautiful handwoven baby changing basket, ethically and carefully produced by partner co-operative in Northern Ghana complete with foam Mattress and white 100% Cotton Sheet.
ATEBUBU features plain woven carry handles rather leather wrapped making this a vegan friendly basket. These ethical nursery accessories make the perfect eco baby gift and will transform any chest of drawers or floor space into a stylish changing area for your little one. Once the days of nappy changing are behind you, this flat woven basket can be put to use all over the home and nursery – a truly practical keepsake. The majority of the weavers who produce these baby baskets are men, having been taught the age-old art of basket weaving from their own mothers and fathers. Agricultural work is the mainstay of most weavers’ family incomes, but poor rainfall and drought makes life extremely challenging. Basket weaving, and producing these exquisite woven baskets, brings women and men the opportunity to earn a valuable second income.
Each changing basket takes around three days to weave, using a grass called veta vera (also known as ‘elephant grass’) which grows wild in Ghana and is remarkably sturdy when woven.
