What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Indego Africa raffia bowl for its artisan craftsmanship and striking aesthetic appeal. The tight weave and natural texture create a beautiful, functional decor piece, often serving as an excellent centerpiece or stylish storage. The double handles are frequently noted for adding both visual interest and practical utility. Buyers appreciate supporting the ethical sourcing mission behind the product.

Know before you buy
No, this bowl is not food safe. It is designed for decorative purposes, such as holding non-perishable items, or as a catchall for keys and accessories.
To clean, gently wipe the bowl with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid submerging it in water or using harsh cleaning agents, as these can damage the natural fibers and dyes.
Because each bowl is individually handwoven by artisans in Rwanda, slight variations in size and shape are expected. You can expect the dimensions to be approximately 13 inches wide and 5.5 inches high.
The integrated handles are sturdy and well-constructed, but they are intended for light to moderate use. We recommend using the bowl for lightweight items like fruit, bread, or decorative accents rather than heavy objects.
The bowl is dyed using natural colorants, which may fade if exposed to direct, prolonged sunlight. To maintain the original tone, we recommend placing it in a spot away from harsh UV rays.
