Zay Basket in All White | Woven Grocery Basket | Handmade in Myanmar
25 reviews
Sold Out£35.00
Upcycled baskets woven by May and her family near Pakkoku, Magway Region. 'Zay' means 'market' in Myanmar, we love this style as a shopping basket! The longer handles are designed to carry groceries.
Pieces of pallet banding, usually stapled across crates for shipping, are woven to create lasting baskets.
Weaving these baskets is the only source of livelihood for May Zun Chit and her family, some of whom are living with physical disabilities or are very elderly.
This type of basket is a feature of everyday life across Myanmar due to their sturdiness, durability and water resistant properties.
Bag is great for using for swimming, looks nice and very useful

Beautiful and useful bag
I love this bag. I received one as a present last year and have now bought two to give as presents. I like the provenance and the story on the card inside the bag and the recycled nature of the product.

gorgeous basket
it's pretty, it's light, it's strong and I am excited to be supporting crafts people in Myanmar, a country I have visited and now is under political siege. Thank you!
