The Basket Room

Our mantra is Connection Through Craft. We work with small craft collectives in Africa to bring you ethical, stylish homeware with a story.

The Basket Room is an ethical home interiors brand inspired by fashion, creativity, and sustainability. A brand committed to empowering women in rural Africa while bringing consciously created products to modern living spaces and contemporary homes. It is a company almost a decade in the making, and it all started with a road trip from South Africa to Nairobi.

Holly McMullen, the CEO of The Basket Room, embarked on her journey into ethical African textiles while travelling the continent with her father in 2006. Six years later, while studying fashion design, she met co-founder Camilla Sutton, and the idea of The Basket Room was born.

Today, The Basket Room is the home of African woven baskets in the UK. Our collections inspire interior designers and homemakers worldwide; our commitment to sustainability makes us a leader in ethical home accessories.
