From Rural Africa.

These baskets are true art from rural villages of Africa to you. They come from a fair trade home industry, supplementing a subsistence income.

African basket weaving is a social activity; community collecting, preparing the materials, weaving, talking and having a good time.  African people think and do community, where skills are honed, burdens shared and laughter had.

You will appreciate the Master-craft skill used to create this distinctive basket; using locally sourced Lutindzi grass to weave these baskets bowls for their and our domestic purposes. You will value the beauty and utility encompassed in each one for a long time.
