Dip Dye Plateau Basket, Olive

Indego Africa's signature plateau baskets are handwoven with heart by artisans in Rwanda. Practicing a time-honored weaving technique, women use a needle and thread to wrap hand-dyed strands of sisal (the inside fibers of an agave plant) around bunches of sweetgrass to create tightly coiled, durable baskets in an impressive range of patterns and colors. Depending on the size and shape, each basket can take one weaver anywhere from 60-70 hours to make

About Indego Africa: Indego Africa invests all profits from its products back into education programs of the women who made them, creating a socially conscious brand that blends trend-lead New York City design with beautiful African artisanal skill.
