Weaving Baskets in Rwanda
In Rwanda, “the land of a thousand hills”, weavers from many tribes, including the recently warring Hutus and Tutsis, create sisal bowl baskets as symbols of peace, reconciliation, self- reliance and hope.
The inside of the coils consists of native grasses. Sisal fiber is then finely stitched on the outside of the coil.

I ordered an Easter basket for my granddaughter; I was so happy when it arrived that I came back to order 3 more baskets! Valerie
I just wanted to say thank you for offering such beautiful baskets from Africa. I received my basket today and I am so pleased. It was much bigger than I thought it would be. Loved it so much I ordered a smaller size and can't wait to receive it too. Again thanks so much for your great service. Diane
All of our African baskets are verified Fair Trade, because we believe that indigenous people around the world should be compensated fairly for their amazing work.
