I do enjoy your magazine - it provides a good balance to a lot of the right-wing / conservative and pro-big-business-dominated media.

The New Internationalist is exactly the sort of intelligent, committed and progressive publication which here at The Chaser, we strongly disapprove of.

The New Internationalist magazine explains and clarifies all the confusions and contradictions we encounter daily in the media's international news coverage.

I cannot do without your caring, enlightening publication.

A fashionable, functional shoulder basket, handwoven by a Kamba women's cooperative in Kitui district, Kenya.

While "kiondos" (basket in Kiswahili) were traditionally made from fibre taken from the bark of the Baobab tree, these days they are made from tightly woven sisal, a sustainable plant that grows throughout Kenya. Our kiondos have Maasai beads, a fabric lining, a cow hide strap and top with zip closure, and are dyed using soil and tree bark. Extremely durable, they will take a beating and still look great.

Note: These kiondos are hand made and variation in shape and colour is part of their charm.

Approximately 25 cm dia x 25 cm deep.
