Product Description:
The perfect dried flower vase for the conscientious shopper. With their intricate traditional designs, these handwoven vases are both remarkably durable and stylish. The mix of materials, subtle patterns, and earthy palette add a stunning statement to any room. Both ethical and sustainable – using only natural materials and dyes – these are perfect gift to yourself or others. Please note this vase is for dried flower arrangements or decorative purposes – it cannot hold water!
These grass-woven baskets have been handmade by a group of women in a rural community bordering Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in southwest Uganda, Africa.
All of the colours that you see in these woven baskets are made naturally using traditional knowledge of herbs. Two different grasses are used, one to give structure and one for the detail.
The result is these amazing and practical vases and baskets that would add style equally to a dressing table, bookshelf or side table.
