This yellow/green natural tone gives positiveness yet tranquillity to your space. 

Our Rwandan basket bowls are so tightly, finely and beautifully woven that you will be surprised it was made all by hand. They are expertly crafted by skilled Rwandan artisans from naturally and locally sourced sisal plants. 

These bowls are perfect for storing anything from stationary, mobile phones and keys to bread and fruits. We also like to hang them on the plain wall or place them on a shelf as interior décor, giving a warm spirit to the space. 

Story Behind:

Nestled in a tranquil corner of Kigali, a charming community of skilled women artisans with disabilities gather to create delicate handcrafted basketry items. Using locally sourced sisal, they carefully and mindfully weave, stitch, and create each item with meticulous attention to detail. Through this community,  they have not only found a path to financial independence but also achieved social integration and gained self-confidence while finding solace and strength in each other by sharing their similar experience and challenges. The work they produce is not merely functional but is a powerful reflection of their remarkable resilience and humanity. We invite you to explore our collection and discover the beauty and human connection. By purchasing from Kaikô, not only will you acquire a one-of-a-kind, artisanal piece, but you will also contribute to the empowerment and well-being of these inspirational Rwandan women and their communities.

The Morning forest bowl was designed by Agnes.
