Banana Panel Box

$36.00

Azizi Life’s collection of handcrafted boxes is a wonderful way to stay organized and hold your belongings beautifully, in fair trade style.

Lightweight and oh-so-useful, this box is crafted with an overlay of woven banana leaves, and lined with cotton fabric.  To create this box, artisans use dried leaves from their banana trees.  They remove the surface of the leaf, divide it into strips, then weave the chevron design.  The black color leaf is from a special kind of banana tree.  The box’s lining is sewn on a pedal-powered sewing machine.

Bring ethical, fair trade beauty into your home décor.

Twivanemubukene Cooperative

The weavers of Twivanemubukene work together not only to get out of physical poverty through their craft sales, but also to support and encourage one another in all aspects of life. The women care for one another and help each other with loans from the group for urgent needs, and increased income which enables them to purchase food, soap, clothing, and school supplies. Guests rave about their Experience Days with Twivanemubukene artisans! Every week, we each make a contribution to the group, which is used for members in need.
