The Kasubi is simple, yet striking; the perfect blend of contemporary and traditional. The undyed cotton ties in perfectly with the natural palm leaf which has been handwoven into a stunning plaited pattern.
A small group of highly skilled Artisans interlace metres of palm leaf in long, thin strips which are then stitched together to form intricate patterns. The reverse is handwoven on countermarch floor looms using undyed cotton locally sourced throughout Uganda.
Includes: cushion cover with a premium environmentally friendly insert.
The beauty of both handmade and natural materials means no two pieces will ever be identical. There may be small differences in pattern, colour, shape or texture to what you see in the photo.
