Mapenzi Knitted Tote Bag

These amazingly colourful bags are woven from recycled sweaters. The weavers buy sweaters on masse, then carefully unravel them to make bundles of yarn which are re-woven around a sisal framework to the designs of the weaver.

These baskets are traditionally called kiondos, and a Kenyan mother would craft a basket for her daughter upon marriage.
