Liyanda Makenge Vessel by Liyanda

The Liyanda Makenge Hamper is a celebration of quiet abundance—a vessel that holds more than your linens or treasured textiles; it carries a story of growth. Hand-woven from heritage Makenge root by master weavers of Western Province, each strand is patiently stripped, softened by hand, and tightly coiled into a form that symbolizes expansion and care.

Craftsmanship and Design

Handmade in the heartlands of Zambia, every coil bears the invisible signature of the woman who made it—her rhythm, her patience, her mastery—resulting in a basket that is never duplicated, never repeated, and never merely functional. Liyanda means “it grows,” and like its name, this piece grows with you—evolving gently as your home, your rituals, and your life do.
