STORY

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.
