basket - HICHAM

hicham is the name of the artisan who weaves the baskets by hand in marrakech.

this basket is hand-woven with dried palm leaves from the "doum" palm. the HICHAM basket is useful for many things, whether as a decoration for your home, as a planter for your plants, as a storage basket or even as a mini laundry basket.
it is a practical and attractive allrounder and can of course also be used as a mini basket bag thanks to its beautiful hand-woven handles.

made in collaboration with journey living in marrrakech

dried palm leaves

25cm x 30cm

each bag is handmade and therefore each piece is slightly different

if basket gets wet, allow to dry well before placing items back inside

YOOMEE was founded by florence in 2014 whilst she was travelling around the world. during her travels she met many people and got to know their stories and handcraft. this was her inspiration to start her own brand. today YOOMEE works closely with a women's association in marrakech, morocco for women with physical disabilities. through this work, the association can also offer physiotherapy to people outside of the association. YOOMEE is all about handcraft - that is also why a lot of YOOMEE products are inspired directly by the craft of indiviual artisans. this is how the idea of the keytags started. YOOMEE works with a lot of left over materials to ensure that there is no over production. all of their leather products are made using left over leather only - this makes each bag series a very limited edition! 

YOOMEE and collab are connection through a deep friendship between the founders of both brands. for many years YOOMEE and collab shared an office - and today you can find the YOOMEE flagship store in the collab pfingstweid store. there are many shared projects between us and YOOMEE and we are super happy to work alongside YOOMEE. the slogan "better together" really comes to life with this match :) 
 

YOOMEE stands for

handcraft - social - personal relationships with artisans
