ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
This handwoven basket brings authentic African artistry into your home. Made in Rwanda from sisal strands wrapped around sweetgrass bundles, each piece showcases a striking geometric pattern hand-dyed in crisp black and white. The artisan's skilled hands create a one-of-a-kind design that celebrates traditional weaving techniques passed down through generations.
At 12 inches wide and 3 inches high, this versatile piece works beautifully as a fruit bowl on your kitchen counter, a statement piece on your coffee table, or hung on the wall using the integrated loop. The natural fiber construction adds warmth and texture to any space while supporting women artisans who craft each basket with care and intention.
Due to the handmade nature, slight variations in size and color make each basket truly unique. Locally sourced materials and traditional craftsmanship create an heirloom-quality piece that tells a story of skill, culture, and purposeful living.
