Kiondo baskets are handwoven of sisal and food grade plastic. Kiondos come in four sizes and in a variety of colors and distinctive Mifuko stripe patterns. Some styles are available with leather handles or straps. The Kiondos are durable, versatile and easy to care for. They are handcrafted, which causes appearance and size to vary slightly from basket to basket. These clever baskets are great for many uses and will happily store toys, firewood, magazines, towels, kitchen utensils or clothes. Kiondos are great little helpers in home organizing. Weaving sisal Kiondo baskets is a traditional Kenyan handicraft. Mifuko Kiondos are made by women´s self-help groups in rural villages of Machakos county near Nairobi. Most of the artisans primarily employ themselves as farmers. The artisans weave Kiondos all year round, but most of the craft work is done during the dry seasons, when they have more time to concentrate on basket making. At times making a living as a farmer can be very difficult for the artisans in Machakos. Making Kiondos brings them financial security by providing an important additional income to secure a living in times of a serious drought and crop failure.
