Discover the premium strength and artisan quality of our fair trade Double Weave U-Shopper Grocery Tote Basket. Hand-dyed and intricately handwoven in Ghana, this basket uses 30% more sustainably harvested vetiver grass than our single-weave U-shoppers, giving it enhanced durability, structure, and weight.
The double weave construction creates a tighter, sturdier finish that’s perfect for customers who want a robust, long-lasting utility basket. Each U-shopper includes heavy cording along the rim for added stability and a strong, ethically sourced leather handle that offers comfort and style.
Designed to handle everything from farmers market runs to beach days, grocery shopping, and weekend trips, this versatile tote is equally at home in decor settings as a hamper, knitting caddy, laptop carrier, or creative storage solution.
Artisans in Ghana craft these baskets using traditional techniques passed down through generations, supporting sustainable livelihoods and fair wages. Each basket is unique, with color and pattern variations that reflect its handmade origin and give it one-of-a-kind character.
Perfect for retailers and wholesale buyers looking to offer durable, sustainable, and culturally authentic home and lifestyle goods that stand out on the shelf.
Material Details: Vetiver grass, also known as elephant grass, aids in soil and water conservation, helping smallholder farmers with environmental rehabilitation efforts, including erosion control, runoff retention and remediation of polluted land and water.
