Woven Palm Reed Basket Tote with Ankara Fabric & Leather Trim

This handwoven palm reed basket with Ankara Kitenge fabric and genuine leather trim — also known as an Ankara Kiondo, African wax print tote, or Palmblatt Korb — is unlike anything else you will find on Etsy. Three distinct handcraft traditions combined into one extraordinary piece — and every single element is genuine.

The body of this woven ankara tote is handcrafted from dried palm reeds using traditional Kenyan weaving techniques — coarse, structural, and naturally earthy in color, holding its beautiful V-shape beautifully on its own without collapsing. The rim is finished with genuine leather trim for a premium structured edge, and the handles are real leather — strong, comfortable, and beautifully aged with use. The bold Ankara Kitenge fabric — also known as African Wax Print — is permanently sewn onto the basket as part of the design, not draped for photos, not removable — bringing vibrant geometric African pattern into every inch of this handmade piece.

This is a one-of-a-kind handcrafted african wax basket that combines palm reed weaving, genuine leather craftsmanship, and Ankara Kitenge textile tradition into a single beautiful piece. Woven in Nairobi. Shipped from Germany. Carried with pride.

❓ COMMON QUESTIONS
- What material is the basket body made from? — Dried palm reeds — the same material used in traditional Kenyan basket weaving. Structural, strong, and naturally earthy in color. This material is stiffer than raffia and holds its V-shape beautifully on its own — unlike softer woven baskets that collapse.

- Is the Ankara Kitenge fabric really sewn onto the basket? — Yes — the Ankara Kitenge African wax print fabric is permanently sewn onto the basket as part of the finished design. It is not draped for photos or removable. What you see in the photos is exactly what you receive.

- Are the handles and rim genuine leather? — Yes — both the rim trim around the basket opening and the handles are genuine leather. Strong, durable, and beautifully aged with use.

- How is this different from a regular Kiondo or sisal basket? — The body material is dried palm reeds — not sisal. The structure is stiffer and holds its V-shape on its own. Combined with the Ankara Kitenge fabric panel and genuine leather trim, this is a completely different and more premium product than a standard kiondo or sisal basket.

- How do I care for this palm reed basket? — Wipe the woven body clean with a damp cloth and air dry naturally. Condition the leather rim and handles occasionally with leather conditioner. Keep away from heavy rain and store in a cool dry place.
