Not all Baskets are created equal

There are many basket bags out there, but are they doing as much good as this one?

We marked Earth Day and Fashion Revolution Week last month, and on the 5th May we celebrate African World Heritage Day, bringing added meaning to this new project. Let's stop to consider where your bag is from...

The Basket Collection is designed, woven, and stitched with stories of passion, skill, ambition from the women who create them. Starting with the idea and designs by LPOL's Creative Director Katy, which are then briefed to Hadithi's team of basket weavers in Kenya, and finished by leather ateliers in Kent, England. It's a truly international team of female artisans, who are each empowered to do the job they love, and make sure everyone is rewarded fairly for it. They are united in their ambition to conserve natural habitats and inspire the next generation. By investing in these creations you are not only owning something beautiful to carry in your hand or over your shoulder, you are choosing to support traditional and sustainable crafts that have positive human and environmental consequences.

The word ‘Hadithi’ means ‘story’ in Swahili.

This is their story.

You can play a part in it too.

You can pre-order your bag from the Basket Collection now.
