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.

Just wanted to thank you for your beautiful baskets. This is the second one I've sent as a gift, and your attention to getting them packed up and shipped is much appreciated. I have a big one as well, that was a gift to me. Just wonderful! Maggie
Just want to say how delighted I am with both of the baskets I purchased from you. These works of art are so well-made and functional and, best of all, supporting women in Ghana. I took my new shopper with me yesterday and was pleased with the quantity it could hold and I could still lift it! Thanks for your advice. Claudia
