Large Trillium Basket ~ Cultivate Collection

Elevate your home decor with the Large Trillium Basket from the Cultivate Collection. This oversized wall basket, featuring vibrant seasonal colors, is designed to make a bold statement in any room. Handcrafted by skilled women artisans from the Batoro tribe in Western Uganda, each basket is a testament to their artistry and dedication.

These artisans are part of a cooperative that empowers single mothers, widows, and marginalized women by providing them with training and income opportunities. Made from all-natural, sustainably sourced raffia and banana fibers, the basket showcases a unique blend of natural and AZO-free dyes. The dyes are crafted from plant materials grown in the artisans' villages, reflecting their deep knowledge and skill.

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 meticulously handmade, with weavers dedicating several hours a day to their craft while managing household responsibilities.

Due to the handmade nature, no two baskets are identical, ensuring each piece is special and unique. With an approximate size of 18" x 4", this basket is a perfect addition to your home, offering both beauty and cultural significance. Handmade in Uganda, it embodies the spirit of craftsmanship and community.
