Zig Zag Bread Basket ~ Harmony Collection

Introducing a stunning addition to your home decor, this Zig Zag Bread Basket from the Harmony Collection is perfect for holding bread or fruit. Its vibrant seasonal tones bring a touch of handcrafted elegance to your tablescape or countertop display. This basket is part of the Spring/Summer 2024 Harmony Collection, showcasing a blend of beauty and functionality.

Each basket is meticulously handcrafted by women artisans from the Batoro tribe in the rural mountains of Western Uganda. These skilled weavers are part of a cooperative that empowers single mothers, widows, and marginalized women by providing training and additional income opportunities. Made from all-natural, sustainably sourced raffia and banana fibers, this basket is both eco-friendly and durable.

The unique design features a bold mix of natural and AZO-free dyes, crafted from plant materials grown in the artisans' villages. The women artisans grow, harvest, and create these natural dyes, showcasing their extensive knowledge and skill. The hand-dyed raffia is expertly twisted and wrapped around coils of banana fibers, resulting in a basket with intricate designs and sturdy structure.

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, 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 10" x 13" x 5", offering a perfect blend of tradition and modern design for your home.
