~ OUR COMMITMENT TO AUTHENTICITY AND QUALITY ~
Rainforest Baskets is not just purveyors of art; we are passionate custodians of tradition. Every piece in our collection undergoes a meticulous selection process, personally undertaken by owners Ed and Jen themselves.
It is this hands-on approach that ensures that each item we offer is not only a work of art but also a testament to the rich cultural heritage of its creators.
PICTORIAL, FLORAL & ANIMAL MOTIF BASKETS
Pictorial motifs on Wounaan Baskets are called “natura” due to the fact that they are inspired by their natural surroundings. In fact, these designs often include local flowers, trees, birds, ocelots, jaguars, iguanas and other flora and fauna native to the Darién rainforest.
Where we collect from
We commission and hand select woven art from the Wounaan and Embera tribes in Panama and Colombia, the Frafa weavers in Bolgatanga, Ghana, and Gahaya Links, a women’s weaving cooperative in Rwanda.
