Black Swirl Tray

Black and natural striped tray is perfect for corralling items on tabletop, counter, or coffee table, or even serving breakfast in bed. Made from natural and dyed banana leaf fibers, hand coiled and woven with raffia. Due to handmade nature, colors may vary widely.

Who Made It: Your purchase supports women artisans in the central region of Uganda, bringing about visible transformation in their lives and a stronger voice in their families and communities by providing fair wages through handcrafting.

Since 1996, SERRV International has partnered with artisans in Uganda, providing a long-term trading partnership and interest-free advance payment for our orders. Through sales of their products, nearly 80 basket weavers earn a steady income, enabling them to make decisions and be less dependent on men for access to food, shelter, health, and education for their children. In addition, artisans in Uganda are involved in microfinancing, information and research, and lobbying for women's rights.

SERRV international is one of the first fair trade organizations in the world. They began their mission by helping displaced European refugees trade their handcrafts for income after the Second World War. Since then, SERRV has extended their reach to 24 countries worldwide, working to empower over 8,000 artisans and farmers every year by selling their beautiful handcrafts.
