Large Spinning Fan Basket

Make an increased impact with a large wall basket!  The larger version of the traditional size adds variation to your lovely wall display. This large statement basket, in bright seasonal colors, is part of the Spring/Summer 2023 Abound Collection.

Handcrafted by women artisans from the Batoro tribe living in the very rural mountains of Western Uganda. These weavers are a part of a cooperative that provides training to single mothers, widows and other marginalized women who are subsistence farmers and weave baskets to provide additional income.

• Made from all natural, sustainably sourced raffia and banana fibers.
• Unique, bold mix of natural and AZO free dyes - Natural dyes are made from various plant materials grown in artisan’s villages. The women grow, harvest and make all the natural dyes which take a great deal of knowledge and skill to produce. 
• The hand-dyed raffia is twisted and wrapped around coils of banana fibers, creating structure and intricate designs.
• Hanging loop on back allows basket to be wall decor in addition to tabletop use
• Weavers hand make each basket from home while tending to other household duties. Baskets can take days to weeks to complete with artists weaving 3 or so hours per day while balancing other responsibilities.

• No two baskets are identical - there will be slight variations in size and color from the one shown due to the handmade nature of each product. Each basket is both special and unique.
