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 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
OH!! I am SO excited! It's a Christmas present for someone who comes in on Saturday so I am so happy that it will be here before then. I want to surprise her at Christmas... Thank you!!! And thank you for having a website that we can order from! I saw the baskets at a great coffee shop a few weeks ago and kicked myself that I didn't pick one up then and there, so I was super thrilled that you have a website to order from!!! Lynn
