On the rolling hills of Rwanda, the sisal plant grows tall and strong. It takes nearly two years before the plant is ready to harvest. With a steady hand, a woman artisan carefully cuts one of its long, spiky leaves with a machete, leaving the plant to continue growing.

The green outer layers are stripped away by hand using water and skill, revealing the strong natural fibers beneath. The fibers are washed, dried, and prepared for weaving.

Some sisal receives its beautiful golden color from an unexpected source—Rwandan tea. The fibers are dipped in locally grown tea, creating a warm, natural tone. Other colors are dyed in our color lab, where sisal is carefully colored in small batches to achieve the perfect shade for each design.

Then the weaving begins. Using a needle and sisal thread, she stitches tiny coils around a bundle of natural grasses, building each piece from the center outward. Every pot is woven by hand, one stitch at a time.

A woven pot and lid can take several days and thousands of individual stitches to complete. Behind every finished piece is a skilled woman artisan whose creativity, patience, and craftsmanship transform a simple plant into something beautiful, functional, and made to last.

A beautiful way to keep everyday essentials organized and out of sight, this woven pot adds warmth and texture wherever it is placed. Style it on shelves, countertops, or a console table to store small treasures while creating a natural, handcrafted accent in your home.

Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and do not submerge in water.
