Market Display of Baskets & Decor - Circle of Welcome & Weave – Enkito e Oltau (Step of Gathering).

More than a storefront—this arrangement is a woven invocation of readiness, texture, and communal grace.

Introducing the Enkito e Oltau Circle of Welcome & Weave: a vibrant display of handcrafted baskets and decor, curated for delivery and storytelling. In the foreground, three green plastic baskets with arched metal handles rest on a patterned sidewalk—symbols of movement and practical grace. Behind them, stacked beige woven baskets with vertical stripes in red, green, and blue echo rhythm and identity. A large circular woven wall hanging and a rectangular mirror with a textured frame reflect the spirit of the space, while a white stool supports a natural-toned basket, inviting pause and presence.

Artisan Connection:

Crafted by weaving cooperatives in Nyeri and Kisii, Kenya, the baskets are shaped from sisal, baobab fiber, and raffia using coiling and patterning techniques that reflect Maasai shield symbolism and seasonal rhythm. The mirror and stool add layers of reflection and elevation, echoing themes of welcome and rest.
