KUNTU: Blue, Brown and Yellow Dog Basket - Large

With its blue, brown and yellow tribal design, this super stylish dog basket is sure to become a favourite sleep space for your larger breed of dog.

Woven from indigenous veta vera grasses in Northern Ghana—also known as Elephant Grass—each dog basket takes up to three days to weave by hand. The production process is lengthy: this Ghanaian grass is harvested, split, hand-rolled and dyed before a skilled weaver from the basket room's partner weaving cooperative sets to work.

The majority of these weavers are men, having been taught the age-old art of basket weaving from their own mothers and fathers. Agricultural work is the mainstay of most weavers’ family incomes, but poor rainfall and drought makes life extremely challenging. Basket weaving, and producing these exquisite woven pet baskets, brings women and men the opportunity to earn a valuable second income.
