ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
The Sunset Plateau brings the golden hour of Rwanda's landscape into your living space. This artisan-crafted wall basket captures the warm hues of African sunsets through thoughtful hand-dyeing in vibrant yellows, blues, and fuchsia tones.
Skilled artisans wrap natural sisal strands around bunches of sweetgrass, creating a piece that honors traditional weaving techniques while serving modern homes. Each basket includes a loop for easy wall hanging and measures 12 inches wide by 3 inches high, making it perfect for displaying fruit, creating gallery wall clusters, or adding warmth to any corner.
The locally sourced fibers and handmade nature mean each piece carries its own character, with gentle variations in size and color that speak to the human hands behind its creation.
