I just opened the box of Binga baskets I recently ordered. I had to write and say that I am blown away by how gorgeous they are. As your tag notes, I also have never seen ones so beautifully woven. It was a treat to open the box!

Props to you for your lovely calligraphy gift messages. One of my gift recipients commented that it was so well done, she was amazed! Thank you for the extra effort. I love your products, especially the Ghanaian baskets, and have gifted several.

Uganda Bukedo & Raffia Bowls

Bukedo & Raffia Bowls | Uganda Baskets | Buy Fair Trade African baskets at basketsofafrica.com

Weavers construct these baskets by wrapping colorfully dyed palm raffia around a coil of bukedo, the local term in Uganda for banana leaf stalks. The large banana leaf stalks are pulled apart into long, thin strips, then dried, and then bundled into coils and wrapped with raffia.
