Sustainability
This product is highly sustainable due to its use of natural, locally sourced materials and traditional crafting methods. Each Woven Tonga Basket is handmade from organic resources such as palm leaves, twigs, and vines—renewable materials that require minimal processing. The natural plant-based dyes used to create the beautiful, earthy patterns are derived from bark and leaves, avoiding the environmental harm caused by synthetic coloring agents. Additionally, the basket-making process supports low-impact, artisanal production and helps preserve cultural heritage by empowering women in rural Zambian communities through fair trade practices.
