Brown and Natural Kupanda Iringa Baskets
Vikapu Bomba embodies the vision of Catherine Shembilu to create sustainable income for talented rural Tanzanian women. For many women living in the lush southern highlands, life centers around subsistence farming, cooking, cleaning and caring for children. Women can weave baskets between their other duties, working daily to earn money to pay school fees, buy food, procure farming supplies and contribute to savings. When a woman has money of her own to use or share, she has greater influence over her life and future.
Milulu grass reeds can be harvested carefully from the marsh without removing the entire plant, dried in the sun, dyed with natural dyes, and split for weaving. The closeness to the earth of both maker and product gives these beautifully crafted baskets widespread appeal.
Sold singly, available in three sizes. Because these baskets are woven by hand, each will vary slightly.
Dimensions:
Small: 10″D x 10″H
Medium: 12″D x 12″H
Large: 13″D x 13″H
Crafted from: Milulu grass, natural dye
Made in: Tanzania
