DESCRIPTION

The Fair Trade Bulawayo Garlic Gourd is expertly handwoven from Ilala palm, showcasing the rich tradition of African craftsmanship.

We are honoured to distribute these African Fair Trade Gourd Baskets, each intricately woven by Ndebele women using ancient techniques passed down through generations.

This weaving tradition is more than just a craft—it's a communal activity where Ndebele women gather under a tree to discuss daily life, share wisdom, and solve problems, all while their children play nearby and begin learning the art of weaving.

In rural Africa, where Ndebele women are often the primary breadwinners, basket weaving provides a vital source of income, offering greater independence and empowerment. These baskets are not only a source of livelihood but also a symbol of resilience and creativity.

Each basket is unique, handcrafted without the use of templates or moulds. The individuality of each piece is celebrated, with irregularities and creative variations making each one-of-a-kind.

SIZE VARIATIONS

At Uniqwa, we take pride in the uniqueness and individuality of each piece, as they are lovingly crafted by skilled artisans. However, it's important to note that as a result of the handmade nature of the product, there may be variations in size from one piece to another. The variations in size serve as a testament to the artisanal process, and the innate beauty of handmade products lies in their unique characteristics and subtle imperfections.

MOULD ON FURNITURE

Humidity causes mould to grow. Limited airflow and moisture create a microclimate for mould to develop. In some cases, mould will begin growing on furniture, clothing and other contents within the home.
In instances when this occurs, it is not an inherent fault of the furniture, clothing and other contents; rather, humidity or dampness in the air can supply enough moisture for mould growth on any surface. Mould can occur anywhere, and humid climates provide the optimal conditions for the fungi to grow and thrive on any surface.

NATURAL MATERIALS

Every Uniqwa piece has a story…

Our collections are mostly individually hand-made pieces. As most of our products are made from natural materials, texture, colour, and pattern may vary from piece to piece. Reclaimed timbers, naturally weathered materials and off-cuts otherwise discarded are frequently part of Uniqwa design features.

Natural splitting, cracking, and loss of natural oils may occur and form part of the characteristics and beauty of Uniqwa products. These are not viewed as imperfections or faults but as part of timber's natural life and beauty.

We believe the result of using natural materials and hand-crafted elements is a testament to the unique qualities found in materials originating from nature.

As every monitor displays different colour tones, the colour of pictures on our website and social media cannot be taken as a true colour indication of the actual products. Some product tones may appear to vary from catalogue or website images.
