Our traditional Palm baskets have been handmade by the Jobe family for several generations in Mariama Kunda, Gambia. Father and son produce in their own yard - their baskets are woven from the branches of the palm tree. The sturdy baskets are untreated and not varnished.

I have known these woven baskets since my childhood. In West Africa they have many functions: Keeping the dowry for the wedding, to store fruits, bread and other food and much more. Through these baskets, I bring a part of my country to Berlin and keep in touch with my family ands friends. in The Gambia.

The baskets are handmade, unique pieces, produced in the Senegalese tradition.The plastic fibres used for weaving are production leftovers that are reused. Traditionally, the baskets were given as gifts at weddings, as they are very suitable for storing various things and are also very decorative.
