Zulu Baskets: Ethical, Vibrant & Handmade for Modern Interiors

Zulu baskets — including colourful telephone wire baskets and traditional Ilala palm designs — are bold, sustainable, and rich in heritage. These handmade African décor pieces are crafted by master weavers in South Africa using materials like repurposed plastic wire and indigenous grasses. Perfect for boho and contemporary interiors, they serve as storage, wall art, or statement gifts, appealing to buyers who value unique African home accents with a story.

At Meekono, we source wholesale Zulu baskets directly from skilled artisans like Angeline Masuku, a master weaver who began her journey in the 1970s in rural KwaZulu-Natal. Her distinctive style combines traditional knotting and natural dyes with contemporary flair, using sustainably harvested Ilala palm. As a pioneering woman entrepreneur, she also mentors new weavers, preserving African craftsmanship and supporting community livelihoods with every basket.

Whether you’re curating a boutique collection, designing soulful interiors, or sourcing meaningful gifts, Meekono offers ethically made Zulu baskets and telephone wire baskets in bulk. Custom sizing, colourways, and assorted sets are available.
