Mbira Baskets is a father-and-son business with a simple idea behind it: bring the handwoven craft of Zimbabwe's Zambezi River region to homes and shelves across the UK, and make sure the people who make it are paid properly for their skill.

One of us works close to the source in Zimbabwe, building the relationships with the weavers - women practising a craft passed down through generations - and choosing each piece by hand. The other runs the UK side from London: stock, accounts, and getting orders to you. No middlemen, no mass production. Just a direct line from the maker to your business.

Every piece is made entirely by hand from natural ilala palm, vivid coiled wire, or reclaimed metal - which means no two are ever identical. For your customers, that's the appeal: genuine, one-of-a-kind craft with a story worth telling, in a market full of machine-made sameness.
