Handcrafted by the women of Rwanda, with intricate designs, bold colors and ethnic roots, these exquisite baskets and bowls are inspired by a traditional Rwandan design and made using centuries-old techniques.

Rwanda “Embrace” Bowls (set of 3) offers themes of reconciliation and renewal. Like open arms, fields of black and white - representing the Hutu and Tutsi people - gently curve around a central, stylized heart, wrapping it in a protective embrace. Each bowl is coil-sewn using an ancient technique for exceptional beauty and strength. Designed to nest, the three make a striking statement together or individually.

Retails for $120.00.

Echoing the cerulean shade of the Rwandan sky, this fruit bowl features soft white shapes floating across a field of ultramarine. Crafted from precisely placed hand stitches, the bowl’s meticulous design and vibrant color inspires thoughts of the limitless potential of the human spirit.

Retails for $40.00

The Rwanda Path to Peace Collection is one of a kind works of art, hand-woven by women in Rwanda. Focused on trade, not aid, the sale of these baskets puts real sustainable income in the hands of the weavers, changing their lives in remarkable ways.
