Traditional Grass Peace Basket

The traditional heritage artforms of the Rwandan people are on full display in every handwoven home decor piece. Azizi Life’s incredible fair-trade woven bowls and baskets, and hand-carved serving utensils, trivets, and bowls are made without any electricity and either sewn with a needle and thread or forged out of solid blocks of wood. Made sustainably in 40 artisan cooperatives across Rwanda, each Azizi Life piece supports the local development of multiple African communities. Azizi Life uses natural and renewable materials that continue to grow after the removal of outer leaves and branches. These renewable materials include sisal fibers, banana leaves and stalks, and Jacaranda or Musave wood. Azizi Life is a women-owned and person-of-color-owned company and a member of the Fair Trade Federation. They pay fair living wages to all its artisan partners across Rwanda for their expertly crafted, handwoven home decor.
