I’m Absolutely delighted to meet Chloe and her lovely daughter Nina from and very honoured to be stockists of these fabulous handwoven baskets 🧺 and bags which are available to buy now at Weaver Antiques.
‘Dada Duka is a fair trade accessories brand founded in 2015
by Hampshire-born Chloe Bartron.
What began as a small initiative quickly grew in demand, thanks to the beauty and craftsmanship of their vibrant, handwoven African bags and baskets. Within just five years, Dada Duka expanded to employ over 150 women across Kenya.
The name Dada Duka, meaning “sister shop” in Swahili, reflects Chloe’s vision: to empower women while fostering hope, confidence, and independence.
Every Dada Duka piece is handwoven by skilled women artisans, not mass-produced in factories. These traditional weaving techniques are passed down through generations, preserving cultural heritage and craftsmanship while creating meaningful, contemporary designs.
By purchasing a Dada Duka bag or basket, you are directly supporting these women and contributing to a more sustainable and empowered future for them and their families.’
As a dealer, collector and Weaver of textiles is everything I love to support at Weaver Antiques. Come and get a dadaduka bag/basket 🧺 we look forward to seeing you 😊🙏
