How can a best seller get even better? Join ministries together and have them do what they do best!! Introducing our Large Basket Tote with Bag Tassel!
When I got my hands on the recycled plastic basket tote, I was blown away by craftmanship and how beautiful they are! Handwoven out of recycled plastic, this basket takes a lot of skill to create. They start with a wooden form and then hand weave the plastic tread around it. It can take anywhere from 4-7 hours to make one depending on the artisan's skill level. 1 thing I would like to point out is that you can't see where one color thread starts and the other ends. Why? They don't tie it off, they melt the two colors together to create a smooth transition!
I wanted a fun tassel to put on this basket tote. I immediately thought of Teze Handcrafts. Instead of using a pom pom, you know we had to be different. Teze is known for their woolen balls so we got busy to designing a bag tassel that highlighted them! Results? A fun whimsical bag tassel that complements the basket tote!
This would make the perfect beach bag. You know when go to the beach how sand gets everywhere? Well, when you pick this bag up, any sand that made it into your basket tote sifts out the bottom!
Heading to the Farmer's Market? Don't forget your ultimate market tote? It holds your fresh fruits and veggies like a champ. It's also the perfect companion for your grocery shopping. This fair trade tote is durable and can handle holding a lot of weight!
Going on a picnic? Load up the basket tote! Sandwiches, chips, drinks, plates, and a picnic blanket? No problem. She can handle it all!
The Large Basket Tote is the ULTIMATE summer bag! Each basket tote comes with the bag tassel pictured. If you would like another bag tassel, we do sell additional bag tasels.
Dimensions: 11.5 X 12 x 6.5 inches
Sueno means dream and Canasta means basket and this truly is a dream for the artisans to have a job making baskets. This little group with a huge heart from Guatemala is empowering young women and teenagers in their community where finding a job is extremely difficult. What I love is when you empower someone with a job, you light something within them. They start to believe in themselves and they start to dream, dream things are possible. One of their artisan's who is 16 started to believe in herself and is going back to school to finish her education. She is currently at a 2nd grade level. By purchasing a basket, you are giving them an opportunity to make their dreams become a reality.
Teze Handcrafts work with Azeri woman who live in Georgia. In the Azeri language, hands are frequently spoken of when talking about work. It is an honor to produce something good with your hands. Azeri women work hard inside their households but broken families and economic difficulties often leave them as the primary breadwinners. Teze Handcrafts collaborates with these ladies to enhance and teach skills they can use to work from home. There are currently 10 ladies in this group.
Empowering people. Changing lives.
