Palm leaves, wild twigs and creeping vines make this distinctive Tonga basket a truly unique home accent. Each basket takes days to make and uses palm leaves carefully boiled in natural dye and dried in the sun. These are traditionally used as fruit baskets but also look great in our favorite wall basket displays.

Responsibly sourced and thoughtfully crafted with natural sun-dried palm leaves by Fair Trade artisans in Zambia. Across the Southern Province of Zambia, Tonga women gather in small groups every day to weave baskets. It is believed that their unique weaving skills are inherited from the Ancestors who crafted baskets for gathering and serving food.

"We know a lot about baskets. Its our heritage and our tradition."
