Our tucum baskets are meticulously handcrafted by a talented group of Indigenous women living in the Brazilian Amazon. This versatile piece can serve as a stunning bread basket or a charming addition to your breakfast table.
Handcrafted by Indigenous women artisans using sustainable tucum fibre, a native palm tree of the Amazon rainforest, our Tucum Basket Tableware combines tradition and natural beauty. Tucum palm trees, recognized for their dense clusters and thorny trunks, provide the resilient fibre, which is fully biodegradable. By choosing these finely crafted pieces, you're not only adding a touch of the Amazon to your home but also supporting Indigenous communities and their traditions.
