I purchased a Bolga basket and fan from you recently. I wanted you to know that it was a great buying experience from beginning to end. Your website is straightforward and easy to use. You have an incredible selection, and the item descriptions were accurate. It was difficult to decide which basket and fan to buy, but I finally made a decision and placed my order. Your status email communication was great, and the next thing I knew, the box was on my doorstep! So quick! Terry

Uganda Bukedo & Raffia Bowls
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.
