These grass-woven baskets have been handmade by a group of women in a rural community bordering Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in southwest Uganda. All of the colours that you see in these baskets are made naturally using traditional knowledge of herbs. Two different grasses are used, one to give structure & one for detail. The result is these amazing & practical baskets & pots that would add style equally to a dressing table, bookshelf or side table. Or a useful little pot for storing jewelry or bathroom odds & ends. Beautiful things should belong to beautiful souls. Muriel Barbery These ethnic African baskets certainly are beautiful, ethical & perfect for those who appreciate art. So, make sure to buy one (or more!) if you would like something special in your home or a charming gift for your loved ones. As all baskets are handmade, please expect some differences in sizing & patterns. Fair trade benefits to artisans Most of the baskets that we have are woven by a lady called Topista. She is 74 years young & a mother & a grandmother. Each basket typically takes her 4 days to complete between other household tasks (the average Ugandan woman spends 9 hours a day on household tasks). Last year the extra income she generated helped cover the family's medical bills & even employ extra help so that she could focus more of her time on weaving!
