Small Basket Collection ~ Echo, Monochrome Daisy, Open Space, Simple Spiral, Starburst, Tribal Shield
Elevate your home decor with our exquisite collection of handcrafted baskets, perfect for adding a touch of artistry to your walls or as unique centerpieces for your tablescape. These smaller yet impactful pieces are ideal for creating a dramatic wall display or serving as stylish catch-alls on dressers.
Each basket is lovingly handcrafted by skilled women artisans from rural Uganda, part of a cooperative that empowers marginalized communities, including single mothers and widows. This initiative not only provides training but also creates sustainable income opportunities for these talented weavers.
- Crafted from all-natural, sustainably sourced raffia and banana fibers, these baskets showcase a commitment to eco-friendly practices.
- Each piece features a unique mix of natural and AZO-free synthetic dyes, derived from plant materials grown in the artisans' villages, highlighting their knowledge and skill in dye production.
- The intricate designs are achieved by twisting and wrapping hand-dyed raffia around coils of banana fibers, resulting in a strong and beautiful structure.
- A convenient hanging loop on the back allows each basket to be displayed as wall decor, adding versatility to your decor options.
- Each artisan weaves baskets from home, balancing their craft with other household responsibilities, often dedicating 3 hours a day. This dedication means that baskets can take days to weeks to complete, ensuring each item is truly special.
No two baskets are identical; slight variations in size and color celebrate the handmade nature of each piece, making every basket unique and one-of-a-kind.
