Maker: Mbare

Handwoven from sustainably sourced Ilala palm leaves by women of the Ndebele tribe in rural Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, each Garlic Tonga Sculptural Basket is a true work of art. The traditional weaving technique, passed down through generations, celebrates heritage, community, and craftsmanship.

Every basket is handmade under the shade of large trees, where artisans weave and connect, infusing each piece with a personal touch. No two baskets are ever alike—each form, curve, and pattern tells its own story, making your basket a one-of-a-kind collector’s piece.

Perfect as a sculptural statement, a vessel for dried botanicals, or a standalone decorative accent, these baskets bring organic beauty and cultural depth to any interior.
