Know before you buy
The basket includes a built-in hanging loop on the back, allowing you to easily mount it using a simple nail or wall hook.
Yes, the basket is food-safe and sturdy enough to serve as a decorative fruit bowl. Since it is made from natural fibers, we recommend keeping it in a dry area to maintain its shape and integrity.
Minimal care is required. Simply wipe the basket gently with a dry, soft cloth or use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust from the woven fibers.
Because each piece is hand-dyed and woven by artisans, there may be slight variations in the mauve, black, and purple tones. This ensures that every basket is a one-of-a-kind piece.
The basket is crafted using traditional techniques with sisal fibers wrapped around a core of sweetgrass, both of which are locally sourced in Rwanda.
