Indego Africa’s Akeza plateau basket in purple with a twist in two shades of pink. Artisans practice a time-honored Rwandan weaving technique, using a needle and thread to wrap hand-dyed strands of sisal (the inside fibers of an agave plant) around bunches of sweetgrass to create these tightly coiled, durable baskets. Each basket can take one weaver anywhere from 60-70 hours to make. Handcrafted by the women of the Covanya collective using sustainable, locally-grown sweet grass and sisal. Use as a catchall or as a decorative feature on the table or wall. Loop on back for hanging. 12″ x 3″
Inspired Design: Indego Africa creates unique, handcrafted products inspired by the vibrant colors and rich cultural traditions of Rwanda, while providing education and economic empowerment for its partner artisan cooperatives.
