ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
A graceful crescent that brings natural beauty to any space. This handwoven basket combines generations of traditional artisan technique with contemporary design, crafted from strands of sisal carefully wrapped around bunches of sweetgrass. Each piece is hand-dyed in natural and black tones, creating subtle variations that celebrate the artisan's touch.
Measuring 12 inches wide by 3 inches deep, this versatile plateau works beautifully as a fruit basket on your counter, clustered with others on a gallery wall, or simply placed as an accent piece in your favorite corner. The thoughtful loop on the back makes hanging effortless, while the shallow depth showcases whatever you choose to display.
Made from locally sourced fibers by women artisans who receive fair wages and educational support. Each purchase helps fund entrepreneurship training and provides consistent access to global markets for the craftspeople who create these meaningful pieces.
