Tackussanu Senegal sells authentic handwoven goods made in Senegal, showcasing the craftsmanship of Wolof women weavers. The best-known pieces are the brightly colored Senegalese storage and market baskets, and the site currently features the No Dimb Collection. The model is direct trade: goods are bought from and made by the women weavers' cooperatives in Senegal, so the money goes back to the people doing the work.
The business began as a shop in Harlem, New York, and was featured in New York Magazine's Strategist roundup of Black-owned home decor businesses in 2020. It has since relocated its published base of operations to Palm Bay, Florida, while keeping its New York 347 phone number. No store hours are listed, so it reads as an online and by-appointment operation rather than a walk-in shop.
The web address has also changed, and tackussanu.com now redirects to tackussanusenegal.com, which is the live store. For a small brand it keeps an unusually broad social presence, on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok and YouTube. If you are after a basket with real provenance, browse the current collection or call to ask about a piece.
