These beautiful, traditional, and intricately woven Rwanda fair trade baskets are all individually hand woven by a group of women who are part of a weaving cooperative in Rwanda. Each basket is expertly woven and is a wonderful work of art. The baskets are created from dyed natural sisal fibres which are woven over a core of forest grasses.
Baskets work well in any home no matter the style, from traditional African themed décor to an ultra-modern home. If you don’t want your baskets on the wall why not use them as a fruit bowl or as a centre piece on your coffee or dining table.
The baskets are incredibly easy to hang, you can either string a piece of cotton through the weave at the back of the basket, or you can simply knock a thin nail through the centre into a gap in the weave directly into your wall. Neither method will damage your basket. The Rwanda baskets have a fabric loop on the back of the basket for hanging.
