Bread Basket. Each one is handmade by artisans who reside and work in remote villages in the South Pacific. The vines used to construct them — called “vignes d’eau” or water vines — only grow in remote mountain jungles and are very difficult to reach and challenging to harvest. However, once reaped, the vines grow back quickly, leaving no damage in their native forests. At a mere 3 millimeters in diameter — barely one-fourth as thick as typical rattan — the water vine takes 1-7 days to hand-weave into a finished design but yields a substantially more durable, heat-resistant and elegant product.

Earnings from weaving help lift these artisans and their villages out of subsistence living, and provide them with better food, health care and transportation.

Included with each design is a statement of authenticity attesting to the time it took to create,
signed personally by the artisans who created it.

Features:
• Natural, durable design
• Each piece is made by hand
• Size: 10.75"L X 7.5"W x 2.75"H
