Step into a world of colour, craft, and conscious living. The Basket Room is an ethical homewares brand that fuses fashion, function, and social impact. Discover our vibrant collection of handwoven baskets, bags, and accessories — each piece a celebration of artistry, heritage, and sustainability.

Handcrafted by women’s cooperatives across rural Africa, our creations bring bold, organic designs into contemporary homes while providing life-changing opportunities for the talented women who weave them. With sustainability at the core of everything we do, our African woven baskets are kind on the planet and good for the soul. 

CEO and co-founder Holly McMullen discovered the beauty and potential of traditional African textiles on a life-changing road trip from South Africa to Nairobi in 2006— a passion that later evolved into a business with a mission.

What started as a dream during Holly’s fashion design studies became a decade-long journey to build a brand that empowers women, supports rural economies, and connects global homes with authentic African craftsmanship.

Today, The Basket Room is proud to be the UK’s home of African woven baskets, inspiring interior designers, stylists, and conscious consumers around the world.
