Large Breaking Wave Basket ~ Cultivate Collection

Elevate your home decor with the Large Breaking Wave Basket from the Cultivate Collection. This oversized wall basket introduces a dynamic variation to your display, featuring vibrant seasonal colors that capture the essence of Fall 2024.

Expertly handcrafted by women artisans of the Batoro tribe in the remote mountains of Western Uganda, each basket is a testament to their skill and dedication. These artisans are part of a cooperative that empowers single mothers, widows, and marginalized women, providing them with training and a source of additional income.

Crafted from all-natural, sustainably sourced raffia and banana fibers, this basket showcases a unique blend of natural and AZO-free dyes. The dyes are derived from plant materials grown in the artisans' villages, requiring extensive knowledge and skill to produce.

The intricate designs are achieved by twisting and wrapping hand-dyed raffia around coils of banana fibers. A convenient hanging loop on the back allows for versatile use as wall decor or a tabletop centerpiece.

Each basket is a labor of love, taking days to weeks to complete as artisans balance weaving with other household duties. No two baskets are identical, ensuring that each piece is special and unique. Handmade in Uganda, the approximate size is 18" x 4".
