Taya Storage Basket, XL

These baskets take up to 40 hours to make and are made by a small, dedicated group of Expedition Subsahara artists.

This beautiful African hamper is perfect as a laundry hamper or used as a storage container or just standing as a design piece. We handmade this basket in the traditional coil-style weaving technique passed down for generations in our country of origin, Senegal.

25 inches tall with lid (18" without the lid) with a 15" opening.

Expedition Subsahara Mission:
Our mission is to build a STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, math) school for girls in Senegal, West Africa. We know that when girls are educated, they can (and do!) change the world.

If you educate a man, you educate an individual. If you educate a woman, you educate a nation. - African Proverb

It's simple - we want to empower Senegalese girls through education to serve their country as doctors, scientists, engineers, leaders, whatever their hearts desire. This, in turn, will lead to economic improvements, creating a ripple effect in healthcare, infrastructure, technological innovation and the livelihood of all people.

In 2020, we hit our first major financial milestone. Twenty percent of proceeds from every Expedition Subsahara sale is set aside in the education fund. We now have the capital to purchase the land where our school will sit. In 2021, we will seek out the perfect location for the school.
