Description

These exquisite Ugandan storage baskets are handcrafted by a talented group of women living near Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in southwest Uganda. Made from natural grass and sisal, each basket features intricate designs using sustainable dyes derived from traditional herbs. The craftsmanship involves two types of grass—one providing structure and the other adding detailed patterns.

Available in a range of sizes from Mini to Extra Large, these lidded baskets are both beautiful and practical, ideal for adding a touch of ethnic charm to any room. Whether used on a dressing table, bookshelf, or side table, they make a stunning statement. Each basket is unique, with slight size variations due to its handmade nature.

Beyond their beauty, these baskets carry a deeper significance. Woven by artisans like Topista, a 74-year-old grandmother, these baskets offer a vital source of income that supports their families and communities. By purchasing these baskets, you contribute to a sustainable livelihood for Ugandan women and help fight poverty in one of the world’s poorest nations.
