Transform your living space with the Nautilus Basket from the Cultivate Collection, a perfect blend of artistry and functionality. This medium-sized basket, crafted in rich seasonal hues, serves as a striking wall statement or a unique centerpiece for your table.
Handmade by skilled women artisans from the Batoro tribe in the remote mountains of Western Uganda, each basket is a testament to their craftsmanship. These artisans are part of a cooperative that empowers single mothers, widows, and marginalized women, providing them with training and additional income through basket weaving.
Constructed from all-natural, sustainably sourced raffia and banana fibers, the basket features a bold mix of natural and AZO-free dyes. The dyes are derived from plant materials grown in the artisans' villages, showcasing their expertise in creating vibrant colors.
The intricate designs are achieved by twisting and wrapping hand-dyed raffia around banana fiber coils. A convenient hanging loop on the back allows for versatile use as wall decor or a tabletop piece.
Each basket is a unique creation, with slight variations in size and color, making it a special addition to any home. Handmade in Uganda, the approximate size of the basket is 13" x 3".
