Bring natural texture and effortless organization into your home with the Large Braided Raffia Basket, a timeless handwoven floor basket designed for everyday living.

Crafted in Rwanda from locally sourced, hand-braided raffia—derived from the inner fibers of palm leaves native to sub-Saharan Africa—each basket is woven using traditional techniques that highlight the beauty of natural materials. The neutral raffia tone showcases the organic texture and craftsmanship in its purest form.

Measuring 20” wide by 22” high, this generously sized basket offers versatile storage for blankets, towels, toys, and everyday essentials. It also works beautifully as a plant pot cover, adding warmth and an organic feel to indoor or covered outdoor spaces. Sturdy double handles and a circular base make it both functional and easy to move.

Dimensions: 20" W x 22" H (4" handle drop)

Materials: Handwoven raffia
