Product CodeBH-025
Product Weight 3 kg approx
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.

Please note: Due to the handcrafted nature of these baskets, slight variations in size, colour, and pattern may occur, making each piece truly unique.
