Zig Zag Bread Basket - Cultivate Collection, Made from Banana Fiber

Perfect for showcasing bread or fruit, this stunning and functional basket adds a handcrafted touch to your tablescape or countertop display. Each piece is a testament to the skill and artistry of women artisans from the Batoro tribe in the rural mountains of Western Uganda. These talented weavers are part of a cooperative that empowers single mothers, widows, and marginalized women, providing them with training and income through their craft.

Crafted from all-natural, sustainably sourced raffia and banana fibers, each basket features unique, bold designs created using natural and AZO-free dyes. The artisans grow and harvest the plant materials for dyeing, showcasing their deep-rooted knowledge and skills.

• The hand-dyed raffia is intricately twisted and wrapped around coils of banana fibers, providing both structure and beauty.
• A convenient hanging loop on the back allows for wall display, adding versatility to your decor.
• Each basket is handmade at home, with artisans weaving for approximately 3 hours a day while managing household responsibilities. This process can take days to weeks, ensuring that each piece is crafted with care.

• No two baskets are identical; slight variations in size and color are a natural result of their handmade nature. Each basket is truly special and unique.
