Woven Banana Box - Set of 3 (BB14) - Rwanda
Exclusive, Hand-Crafted Designs.
The Woven Banana Boxes come in a set of 3, and feature a unique pattern of banana leaves. The artisan crafts each one-of-a-kind box by hand – a technique that requires patience, precision and great skill to master. The women from the Twiyubake Family cooperative in Kayonza are responsible for creating all of Indego Africa's banana leaf products – their remarkable products were recently sold in Polo Ralph Lauren stores, and highlighted by Instyle.com.
Impressive Quality.
Our team has ventured across Africa to bring you products of only the highest quality. These striking Banana Boxes are the latest addition to our banana leaf collection. Color: brown, black, natural. Please note that all our products are handmade, and color and size may vary slightly.
A Stunning Addition to Your Home.
Equal parts function and beauty, Woven Banana Boxes add an organic and artful presence to your home. These boxes make wonderful gifts, or can be used as a unique display piece. The set of Banana Boxes offer a stylish storage solution, and a perfect way to organize your clutter. By employing these boxes to hold your belongings, you’re paying the greatest respect possible to their Rwandan creators and their timeless works of art. Like all Indego Africa products, the Woven Banana Boxes will come with a tag signed personally by the artisan who created it, offering you a chance to better know one of these impressive entrepreneurial women (bios and photos about the artisans can be found online).
