Chevron Banana Leaf Rectangular Basket

DESCRIPTION: Azizi Life’s collection of handcrafted boxes is a wonderful way to stay organized and hold your belongings beautifully, in fair trade style.   

Lightweight and oh-so-useful, this box is crafted with an overlay of woven banana leaves, and lined with cotton fabric. The Banana Panel Box is perfect for holding your belongings which need their own special place, whether it’s washcloths in the guest bathroom, camisoles in your closet, or condiments for your picnic. We also love to use this box to hold a hostess gift!

To create this box, artisans use dried leaves from their banana trees. They remove the surface of the leaf, divide it into strips, then weave the chevron design. The black color leaf is from a special kind of banana tree. The box’s lining is sewn on a pedal-powered sewing machine.

IMPACT: Handmade with love in Rwanda ♥ Our Chevron Banana Leaf Rectangular Basket are made by artisans with Azizi Life, an organization that participates in local initiatives for the development of Rwandan communities working towards physical and spiritual wholeness for all. Azizi believes that God cares deeply about each person's physical well-being and relationships with one another, as well as relationships with Him. Azizi sees the brokenness of the world- both in ""the West"" as well as in their home country of Rwanda - and believes that it is only through a relationship with Jesus Christ that true healing, wholeness – and development – can be found.
