Empowerment and artisanal excellence are the cornerstones at the foundation of Makaua, a family-owned and women-led company that produces woven products for the home. Handmade by a community of 50 families in a low-income region of Mexico, Makaua employs over 100 people who earn a living hand-weaving palms while staying at home to care for their families. Elegant and egalitarian, the resulting collection of baskets, placemats and poufs provides your home with timeless pieces that tell the story of the people who crafted them.
Makaua supports
- Community Engagement
- Gender Advocacy
- Natural Materials
- Marginalized Communities
- Heritage Craft Preservation
Colorful, responsibly crafted, and perfect for keeping throw blankets within reach of the sofa or extra bed pillows at your bedside — the Short Tambo Basket by Goodee x Makaua offers the storage solution you’ve been looking for (with convenient handles to relocate it as needed). This unique collaboration showcases Makaua's beloved basket design with exclusive color combinations. As with all Makaua baskets, this one is meticulously hand-woven from locally harvested palm fibers by artisan families in one of Mexico's most vulnerable regions. Each piece helps create a positive impact within the community while preserving a traditional craft.
The baskets are hand-dyed so there may be slight variations in color.
