African Wall Baskets

These spectacular baskets are made of the highest quality natural fibers in an ethical, fair trade environment that empowers groups of women in intimate communities across rural Ghana, Rwanda, and Uganda. Their training has been handed down from generation to generation and they handle every step of this intricate process, including harvesting, hand dying, and weaving the baskets.
