Named after its maker expert weaver Vestine, Boutique Vestine Green Woven Bowls were inspired by a fabric Vestine found (pictured). It is a challenge for most weavers to take an established pattern and weave it with perfect balance and excellence in every stitch, but Vestine has a gift. In this new bowl, she shares her gift with all of us.
Woven from natural sisal fibers threaded over a core of locally-gathered forest grasses.
The tea color is created when the sisal fibers are steeped in Rwandan tea leaves!
We’ve also attached a loop for hanging your trivet up.
Diameter: 12 inches
Care: Wipe with a damp cloth in the direction of the sisal fibers.
Handcrafted in Rwanda

Vestine can help her family in many ways with her weaving income: buying clothes for herself and her siblings, food for the family, and paying for national health insurance, to name a few. She also is saving through several savings groups and at the bank. Vestine’s dream is to set aside enough capital from weaving to start a small business selling in the city market.
All of our woven bowls are created from dyed natural sisal fibers woven over a core of forest grasses. The weavers begin in the middle of the basket, carefully threading the sisal around and around to create this beautiful design.
