Small Sprocket Basket ~ Cultivate Collection

Introducing a stunning addition to your home decor, the Small Sprocket Basket from the Cultivate Collection. This compact yet impactful piece is perfect for adding variety to your wall display or serving as a stylish catch-all on your dresser. Handcrafted by skilled women artisans from the Batoro tribe in the remote mountains of 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 a source of additional income. Made from all-natural, sustainably sourced raffia and banana fibers, the basket features a unique blend of natural and AZO-free dyes. The dyes are crafted from plant materials grown in the artisans' villages, showcasing their expertise and commitment to sustainable practices.

The intricate designs are achieved by twisting and wrapping hand-dyed raffia around coils of banana fibers, creating a beautiful structure. A convenient hanging loop on the back allows the basket to be used as wall decor or a tabletop accessory. Each basket is handmade with care, taking days to weeks to complete, as artisans balance weaving with other household responsibilities.

No two baskets are identical, with slight variations in size and color due to their handmade nature, making each piece truly special and unique. Handmade in Uganda, this basket measures approximately 8" x 2", offering a perfect blend of functionality and artistry for your home.
