This is special because...
Basket weaving is a time-honored handicraft throughout Africa, often passed from mother to child, in which every regional culture has a unique style and utilizes the different natural resources at their disposal. This piece is made in an ethical, fair trade work environment by craftswomen in remote villages of Rwanda, Uganda and Ghana, who receive living wages that reflect their incredible skills, allowing them to sustain themselves, their families and their rich artisan heritage.
