As you all know we’re basket crazy here at Emmela. We love having baskets in our home, on our table and as our shopping (or even better … beach) bags.

Adding a basket to a room, table or even the wall instantly gives a ‘little something’ to a room. Having natural & sustainable materials, soothing curves and warm earthy tones makes it feel more organic and that’s what we love 🤎

Emmela baskets are all handmade with sustainable grasses, intertwined with repurposed matting and off-cut leather trims.

Featured ~ Basket fele bowls, natural placemats and our linen Pagne tissé napkins by .dakar

Meet the Douwes!

In Wolof (Senegalese weavers’ language) it means to ‘fill up’. Fill your handwoven baskets up with laundry, toys or have it as a stunning statement piece in your hallway. Mine is in my hallway full of my kids shoes and bags!

They are selling well at Crona’s store in Stow-on-the-Wold and we’ve had lots of comments on how well they’re made 💕 Fatou is the quality control master!

All with sturdy leather handles and tassels.

Emmela baskets can be purchased from the following places.

Burst of bougainvillea joy! This makes me happy… seeing beautiful colours in nature. I think this is one of my favourite colour combinations - pink & orange. Have you seen the tiny white flowers too? 😍

Thank you for your responses on stories about baskets colour versus more neutral ones. Colours seems to be winning… what do you think of this basket ? It has the winning colour combination- pink & orange 💕🧡
