Wetu Mwanga Handwoven Basket
Add a vibrant and distinctive pop of personality to your home with our Handwoven Red and White Bowl, handcrafted with love and care in Rwanda. This exquisite piece not only serves as a catch-all for your everyday essentials but also doubles as a charming fruit basket that beautifully showcases nature's bounty.
Crafted from locally sourced natural sweetgrass and sisal, each basket is a testament to the ancestral techniques passed down through generations. The skilled artisans dedicate 2-3 days to meticulously hand-weave and hand-dye each piece, ensuring exceptional quality and attention to detail.
With a loop on the back, this versatile bowl can also be hung on the wall, transforming it into a captivating piece of art that infuses your space with a touch of cultural heritage.
Embracing the beauty of handmade craftsmanship, each bowl exhibits small variations in color and design, making it a truly unique and one-of-a-kind treasure. No two pieces are exactly alike, adding to their authentic allure and individuality.
We take pride in our commitment to ethical sourcing, supporting the livelihoods of the talented women who pour their creativity and skill into every creation. The profits from these handcrafted bowls directly fund education programs, empowering these artisans and preserving their cultural heritage.
To maintain the longevity of this stunning bowl, we recommend spot cleaning as needed. Please note that bright colours may fade when exposed to direct sunlight, so it's best to display this piece in indirect light to preserve its vibrancy.
