Ngongo Pot

These unique storage pots or baskets are created from repurposed discarded fast fashion. The second hand clothing industry known as Salaula (hence the name Sally's Collection) keeps many people in the informal sector here in Zambia in business. However from every bale there are always pieces that don't get sold. These are collected and resold but even these traders have pieces they can't move. These are the pieces we buy. They are painstakingly washed, cut into strips and wrapped around acrylic fluff to form coils that are wound into traditional African pot shapes. The result are stunning, colorful, textural and completely individual baskets ideal for storage, to hold plants or as decor statement pieces.
