Statement Binga Lace Blonde Basket

A beautiful evolution of the traditional Binga Basket, the Binga Lace features a new semi-transparent lace weave for a delicate and unique aesthetic. Handwoven by skilled artisans in Zimbabwe, these baskets are crafted from 100% natural and sustainably harvested raw Ilala Palm. This is the first collection of its kind available in the United States, celebrating Zimbabwe’s renowned heritage crafts. Originally used as winnowing baskets, they are now admired as stunning wall art pieces, adding a touch of organic beauty to contemporary homes. The natural beauty of our pieces lies in the unique color variations of Ilala palm grass fiber. Harvested from the same plant, these fibers reflect the conditions of their environment, resulting in subtle differences in tone. Depending on the season—whether wetter or drier—the dried fibers may showcase hues ranging from soft greens to creamy whites or warm yellows. This organic variation adds character to every piece, making each one truly one of a kind. While we strive for consistency within batches, these natural tones are a testament to the authentic, handcrafted process and cannot be precisely controlled.
