Our baskets are woven by Peruvian Amazon artisans from natural chambira palm fiber. They are fashioned from both natural plant and other vibrant dyes and are adorned with seed and wooden beads.
The sale of these baskets supports forest conservation and helps meet local needs in traditional communities in Peru. This basket was made by a campesino artisan from the association Manos Amazonicas (Amazon Hands) in the village of Chino on the Tahuayo River. Each basket comes with a tag listing the name.
These baskets were handmade by different artisans so the exact design may vary from the photo shown for this model.

Support native artisans & rainforest in the Amazon
Amazon forest loss is driving species to extinction, aggravating global warming, and robbing people of unique medicines, foods and other benefits. Cutting and burning forests is often more profitable than conserving them, so some native communities in northern Peru have illegally logged and grown coca and other cash-crops to escape poverty.
