RANAU: For a Dusun family residing in Kampung Taba here, about 142 kilometres from Kota Kinabalu, basket weaving is their traditional craft.
While their forefathers weaved beautiful baskets out of rattan, these days, due to the difficulty in sourcing rattan locally, multi-coloured plastic strands are used to make elegant bags and baskets in various shapes and sizes.
Three sisters belonging to the fourth generation of the family, who picked up the traditional weaving skills from their parents, are keeping the family heritage alive via their Olundus Craft venture which they started in September 2019 to supplement the family income.
