Sisal Storage Bin: Strong Lines, Kenyan Heart

Weave of Strength & Story

Across Kenya’s semi-arid highlands, agave leaves are stripped and sun-dried, then hand-twisted into tough sisal yarn. Artisans weave the fibers into a 14-inch cylindrical bin with tight rows that stand rigid under daily use. Neutral straw-beige gives the piece a clean, modern look that slips into Scandinavian, boho, or farmhouse interiors. Prosperity Wages from Ten by Three convert this traditional skill into reliable income—funding school fees and small farms—while keeping plastic baskets out of the supply chain.

Organize Every Corner

• Blanket Keeper – Stack throws beside the couch; high walls hide clutter yet keep layers within reach.
• Toy Round-Up – Drop plush animals or building blocks straight in—no lids to slow clean-up time.
• Entryway Catch-All – Park by the door for shoes, scarves, or sports gear; the round footprint fits snugly against a bench.

PRODUCT CARE

• Shape Refresh: Mist lightly with warm water, press into form, and air-dry in good airflow.
• Cleaning: Shake out debris; wipe with a damp cloth—avoid soaking to preserve rigidity.
• Sunlight: Rotate occasionally—prolonged direct sun can lighten natural fibers.
• Load Tip: Best for textiles and light goods; avoid very heavy hand-weights or firewood.

ARTISAN NOTES: Weave tension, subtle fiber tone, and diameter vary slightly by maker, so each bin is unique. Need a lighter shade or specific size? Email support@tenbythree.org and we’ll match you with the closest option.
