Kiondo, a sisal woven bag native to Kenya has found its way to the world after Vicky Njoki Ngari, former Miss Kenya UK embarked on a venture to revive the Kenyan weaving culture through film.
“The film will feature the entire process of stripping the bark from the sisal tree, fashioning the fibre, and then weaving in a circular style starting with what is called the ‘crown’ which finally becomes the base of the basket,” explained Njoki who is now a lecturer in the UK.
