True works of art and almost architectural in form, these baskets are made of dried and woven roots of the vetiver plant which is a by-product of the perfume industry. Hand made in Madagascar by a womans co-operative just outside the capital, each piece is unique.
The root holds the plants fragrance so the baskets smell amazing and are naturally anti bacterial and anti fungal. A light spritz with water will revive and/or intensify the scent
