Lima Basket Weaving

We have been working with this family of basket weavers located on the outskirts of Lima  for many years now . They make the baskets from a natural reeed called "Junco " and dye this to the colors required themselves .

There are three generations involved in the production with the eldest active basket weaver being just over eighty . I need to mention here too that all children of school age do go to school and only participate in the family business once they have compleed their  studies . The family have strict rules about this .

It a pleasure to be able to work with them and we are currently making a large variety  baskets and bags for sevral clients
