Across the thousand hills of Rwanda, groups of women are sitting together, weaving sisal baskets in the traditional way. The sisal fiber is extracted from the long leaf of a plant that resembles aloe. When the green fleshy part of the leaf is stripped away, white string-like fibers remain.  These fibers are cleaned and dried, cooked in dye, and then woven into traditional forms- such as the peaked peace basket, or less traditional forms- like earrings or napkin rings.

The peace basket is still used in Rwanda for special gift giving. Many local homes have these baskets proudly displayed, or put to practical use holding dry goods like beans or rice.

Celebrate your love for people, resilience and beauty with our artisan-made home décor and gifts.  Azizi Life is committed to loving, fair trade, ethical relationships.  A portion of profit is donated to benefit our community impact projects.

The Handcrafted Details

  • An artisan weaves for 4-5 days to complete one basket.
  • Hand-woven from natural sisal fibers.
  • The naturally-white fibers are dyed with Rwandan tea leaves, creating a 100% natural product.
  • Approximately 9 inches tall.
  • Care: Dust with a dry cloth.
  • Note: Azizi Life goods are crafted from natural and locally-available raw materials.  As such, each product is unique and may vary slightly in size or shade of color.  Woven products exposed to sun or water may fade or become more malleable with time.
  • Ethically crafted by a person in rural Rwanda.
  • Azizi Life is a member of the Fair Trade Federation and committed to fair trade principles.
  • Every product supports our community impact projects.

Fulfilled by our friends at Azizi Life

As a marketplace, we curate vegan and sustainable products from many amazing brands – but we don’t hold stock, so when you order a product from us, the item is shipped from the brand directly. This eliminates needless carbon emissions and use of resources from not having to have the item packaged and shipped to us, and then repackaged and shipped out again to the customer, and not having to run major warehouse operations in addition to those of our brands. If you have purchased multiple items from different brands at the same time, each item will be sent separately and directly from each individual brand. We manage all customer communications, so if you have any questions or issues with the delivery of your item, please contact us at hello@veganist.com.

Delivery Times

Our brands usually dispatch items within 1-2 days of your order. Shipping can take between 3-10 days, depending on where you are based and where the brand is based. However, please be aware that we are unable to control whether there are postal strikes or other external factors that may affect delivery time.
