Large Black Braided Raffia Basket
Make a bold, functional statement with the Large Black Braided Raffia Basket, a beautifully handcrafted floor basket designed for both storage and style.
Woven in Rwanda from locally sourced, hand-braided raffia—derived from a special species of palm native to sub-Saharan Africa—each basket reflects traditional techniques passed down through generations. Hand dyed in a rich black tone, it features a sturdy circular base and durable double handles for easy movement.
Measuring 20” wide by 20” high, this oversized basket offers generous storage for blankets, towels, toys, and everyday essentials. It also doubles as a striking plant pot cover for indoor or covered outdoor use, adding natural texture and depth to your space.

Due to its handmade nature, slight variations in size and color make each basket beautifully unique.
Each item is handcrafted using time-honored, heritage techniques, making each and every piece unique with slight variations.
