The intricate step pattern starting from the center of our Rwandan Friendship Basket honors the journey one takes through life, with a friend by your side to help you along the way. Woven of black and natural raffia, this extra large fair trade basket is the perfect gift for that special person in your life.

Origin: Rwanda
Size: Approximately 16" in diameter and 5-6" deep.

About the Project: These fair trade baskets are woven by the women of the Kinigi Weavers Association, in a small village near Volcanoes National Park. Each basket is hand-crafted from sisal and consists of literally hundreds of stitches. The patterns of these baskets tell ancient stories and now stand as symbols of peace and reconciliation in a country rebuilding itself after the genocide.
