Whether showcased solo or grouped together, these baskets are sure to captivate attention and add a touch of natural elegance to any space.
The natural beauty of our pieces lies in the unique color variations of Ilala palm grass fiber. Harvested from the same plant, these fibers reflect the conditions of their environment, resulting in subtle differences in tone. Depending on the season—whether wetter or drier—the dried fibers may showcase hues ranging from soft greens to creamy whites or warm yellows. This organic variation adds character to every piece, making each one truly one of a kind. While we strive for consistency within batches, these natural tones are a testament to the authentic, handcrafted process and cannot be precisely controlled.

Garlic Gourd Baskets From Bulawayo, Zimbabwe
Step into the world of kanju Interiors and discover the exquisite artistry of Garlic Gourd Baskets. Each basket tells a story of skillful craftsmanship and cultural heritage, hailing from the vibrant city of Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. These unique and captivating baskets bring a touch of African elegance and functionality to your home.
The Garlic Gourd Baskets are meticulously handcrafted by talented artisans who have honed their skills through generations. The process begins with the selection of locally grown gourds, carefully harvested for their size, shape, and durability. These natural gourds form the base of the baskets, providing a sturdy foundation for the intricate weaving that follows.
Skilled weavers in Bulawayo employ age-old techniques passed down through their communities, combining traditional methods with their own artistic expressions. With nimble fingers and a deep connection to their craft, they transform the gourds into stunning works of art. Each basket is a testament to their exceptional talent, attention to detail, and unwavering dedication.

My new Binga Wall Basket is beautiful and authentic. I contacted Kanju interiors after I purchased a similar basket in South Africa and found that I would like another to compliment it. Teresa texted back and forth and provided excellent customer service. She helped me pick out a basket that looks great with the one I already have. These baskets are beautiful.
The color I picked was a bit darker than I expected, because the lighting is always different in photos. It looks great on my wall.
Even more beautiful than on the pictures!
