Set of 3 Fiber Hut Ornaments
Outlet Item
Overview
Inspired by traditional African huts called vibanda, this miniature replica was handcrafted by women in remote Kenyan villages. In these small rural areas, the homestead is clustered with mud huts where multiple generations of one family live together. Modeled after these basic structures, these ornaments are made of banana fiber, an abundant and sustainable plant, and topped with vibrant sisal thatch roofs. Its authenticity reflects the extraordinary color and beauty of Africa, as well as local artistic talent in design and craftsmanship. Each ornament is crafted by women working in collaboration with a fair-trade organization, who are empowered to earn a sustainable income and work toward economic independence to provide their families with basic needs, such as food, clothing, housing, healthcare and education.
