Indego Africa Raffia Lidded Basket

Because this basket is made from natural, handwoven raffia, it should only be spot cleaned with a soft, dry cloth or a slightly damp cloth if necessary. Avoid using harsh chemicals or submerging it in water, and keep it out of direct sunlight to prevent the natural fibers from fading or becoming brittle.

The lid is designed to sit securely on top of the basket, but it is not a locking mechanism. It is perfect for concealing clutter or keeping items dust-free, but it will lift off easily if the basket is tipped over.

This basket is handwoven with a sturdy, durable design intended for everyday storage. While it is robust enough to hold items like blankets, towels, or toys, it is not designed to be dragged across rough surfaces or used as a seat.

No, the interior is unlined. You will see the natural, raw texture of the handwoven raffia, which adds to the basket's authentic, artisan-crafted aesthetic.

Indego Africa operates as a fair-trade organization that partners directly with women artisans in Rwanda. Your purchase provides these women with sustainable income and supports educational programs that help them grow their businesses and communities.
