ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
This handwoven plateau basket emerges from the skilled hands of Rwandan artisans, crafted with strands of sisal carefully wrapped around bunches of sweetgrass. The kaleidoscope design blooms in olive green, blue, pink, and natural tones, each one hand-dyed to create a one-of-a-kind piece that celebrates traditional craft techniques.
At 12 inches wide, this versatile basket transforms any space with its thoughtful design. Display it as a decorative fruit basket on your counter, hang it as part of a gallery wall collection using the built-in loop, or place it in your favorite corner as an accent piece that whispers stories of heritage and human hands.
Every purchase supports women artisans in their journey toward financial independence, with profits invested directly into education programs that empower creators and their communities to build sustainable enterprises rooted in traditional craft.
