Darling Weavers basket factory is situated in the picturesque village of Darling in the Western Cape. Basket weaving has been undertaken in this small rural town for over 25 years employing local weavers.
As with many small communities in South
Africa, Darling has been adversely affected by the current economic
climate and import competition and as a result, unemployment is
high. It is therefore our major initiative to redevelop and utilise
these skills to boost local employment, especially amongst women who
are often the sole income provider.
We specialise in the manufacture of quality,
handmade baskets to a wide variety of customers who require a better
quality product compared to cheaper and often inferior imports. Our
products are available custom-made in a variety of colours in either
natural or more durable materials.
We boast an extensive national client base supplying to:
florists
nurseries
interior decorators
kitchen and cabinet makers
bakeries
shopfitters
hospitality sector
large food chains
to name a few.
Nothing is too big or too small or too difficult for us to satisfy your needs.
