Pastel Mbalwa Wall Basket

Drawing inspiration from nature, this handwoven wall basket boasts a timeless flower design with peach accents, creating a bold and sophisticated wall art piece with warmth and texture. Combining traditional craftsmanship and contemporary design makes this an exquisite addition for your home. This versatile basket can also be used on your tabletop, as shelving decor, or anything else your heart desires.

This functional and stylish piece of art is curated from sustainably sourced raffia and banana fibers by groups of women in intimate communities across Uganda in an ethical, fair trade environment. Raffia is harvested by extracting liquid from the raffia palm tree and is naturally green, but after being stripped and dried by the brilliant rays of Uganda sunshine, it turns into a neutral beige. Once fully dried, the strands are dyed with organic dye, then the artisans hand-weave these beautiful baskets in their homes.
