- The ideal housewarming gift and the perfect shape and size to be used as a fruit basket, hung in a cluster on a gallery wall, or simply placed as an accent piece in your favorite nook around the house or office.
Due to the handmade nature, some size and color variation may occur.
Behind The Design:
Rwanda has a long history of craft. Traditionally passed down through generations of women, weaving has long been a form of artistic expression with very practical application.
Artisans in Rwanda pick banana leaves (or source from local farmers), placing them in the sun to dry until they reach the desired shade of brown, tan or white before weaving. Banana leaf can be woven in a variety of ways and – once sun bleached - hand dyed using natural dyes.
Impact
The artisan sector is the second largest employer in the developing world. Yet the majority of artisans are women who lack access to export markets, business skills, and the financial tools needed to run successful, global enterprises.
We are dedicated to changing that by investing 100% of our profits into education programs for the women who handcraft our products and youth in their communities. Since 2007, we've provided over 1,100 artisans and 250 young people in Rwanda & Ghana with employment opportunities, entrepreneurship training, and consistent access to the global export market.
Care Instructions
Our woven pieces are sturdy and made to last. We recommend keeping bright colors away from direct sunlight and trimming any stray fibers that may appear over time.
