ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
This handwoven plateau basket brings the ancient artistry of Rwandan sisal weaving to your modern home. Each piece emerges from the skillful hands of women artisans who wrap natural sisal strands around sweetgrass bunches, creating a unique geometric pattern in soft heather tones of purple, blush, and gray.
The shallow, wide design makes it perfect as a fruit basket on your kitchen counter, an accent piece in your favorite reading nook, or part of a curated gallery wall display. The built-in hanging loop allows for versatile placement throughout your living space.
When you bring this basket home, you connect with generations of Rwandan weaving tradition while supporting women artisans building sustainable livelihoods through their craft.
