White & Grey Takh Statement Basket with Leather Tassel

The Story Behind the Takh Basket

The Takh basket has an unexpected and joyful origin. In the early days, a weaver named Coumba misinterpreted a drawing of a basket design. The sketch showed a basket with a 30 cm diameter, but Coumba wove her own interpretation — with an opening barely 8 cm wide. The result was a completely new and distinctive shape.

What began as a happy accident quickly became a bestseller. The unique form has since become iconic, with Coumba affectionately nicknamed as “Coumba Boob!”. It’s also likened to “Hershey’s Kisses”.

Giving Back Through Craft

Beyond its playful history, the Takh basket carries a deeper purpose. 100% of profits from every Takh sold are dedicated to funding THE IMADI education and literacy programmes in local weaving communities — supporting opportunities for the next generation.

Please support by buying a TAKH, and we can order more from the weavers enabling more funds for the schools.

Styling the Takh Basket

The distinctive shape of the Takh basket makes it a beautiful statement piece for shelves, consoles and coffee tables. We also love styling it with dried flowers or stems placed inside a small vase.

A lovely hostess or housewarming gift too.

Approx: Sizes vary from Height 34cm-40cm and Width 26-28 cm. Our openings are 13-15cm.

If you order more than, we will make sure they are approximately the same size.
