ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
This handwoven banana leaf planter brings natural texture and warmth to any space. Crafted by artisan partners using traditional weaving techniques, each piece showcases subtle variations in natural banana leaf tones that create a beautiful striped effect. The narrower design makes it perfect for medium-sized plants in smaller spaces.
Made from locally sourced banana leaf, this flexible basket features an unlined interior with a circular base that accommodates most standard plant pots. While designed with plants in mind, its versatile form works equally well for storing blankets, towels, or other household essentials.
Every purchase supports women artisans in Rwanda and Ghana, with 100% of profits invested in education programs that help build sustainable livelihoods and entrepreneurial skills in their communities.
