Woven with Purpose: Handcrafted Elegance for Your Table
Add warmth, purpose, and elegance to your table with these hand-woven banana leaf hot plates. Crafted by skilled artisans in Kenya, each piece is a testament to the resilience and tradition of the Kenyan people. The artisans collect the large, fibrous leaves that wrap the base of the banana tree, soak them to enhance flexibility, and then intricately weave them by hand into a beautifully textured design. What begins as a humble natural material is transformed into a functional work of art—durable enough to protect your table, yet striking enough to spark conversation at any meal.
Sold as a set of two, each hot plate measures approximately 8 inches in diameter and 1/4 inch thick. Please note that due to their handmade nature, slight variations in color and weave pattern make each piece unique.
This product supports a fair-trade partnership with Kenyan market artisans, helping to create safe and sustainable livelihoods for communities facing exploitation.
