Neutrals / Brown Vintage Tutsi Basket - One Zero Six Five | One Size | Botanical Boys

Originally hand-woven by the Tutsi people of Rwanda, these remarkable vessels are more than just storage; they are functional works of art. Each basket tells a story of tradition, patience, and meticulous skill, passed down through generations of Rwandan weavers. Authentic Heritage:These are genuine vintage pieces, boasting the unique character, slight imperfections, and rich patina that only time can create. Natural Materials: Traditionally hand-coiled using locally sourced sisal fibers, raffia, and sweetgrass, dyed with organic pigments to achieve their earthy, muted tones. The Statement Planter: Use a larger basket as a decorative "cachepot" for your plant (just remember to use a waterproof liner!). Size H 27cm W 31cm D 31cm Dry Cleaning Preferred:Regular brushing is usually sufficient. Spot Cleaning: Use a slightly damp (not wet) white cotton cloth to blot gently. Do not rub, as this can damage the fibers. Avoid Submerging: Unlike some coarser baskets (like Bolga baskets), delicate, finely woven Tutsi baskets should not be soaked in water, as this can distort the shape and damage the delicate, dyed fibers. Elephant Grass 10%, Sisal 50%
