In Western Uganda, these sweet, pointy-topped baskets are traditionally used as decorative vessels to hold coffee beans. When visitors arrive to a home, hosts offer them a coffee bean or two to chew on to reenergize them after a long journey. Part of the Elevate Collection, the 2025 annual small batch basket collection.

• 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.
• 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.
• 5.5″ x 6″
