Uncover the Beauty of Bangladesh
Bangladesh is a country shaped by water—its delta lands nourished by rivers, its culture rooted in rhythm and resourcefulness. Among quiet villages and lush paddy fields, basket weaving is a daily expression of connection to family, to earth, and to generations of practice. Women harvest sea grass and date palm leaves, coiling and stitching each basket by hand. These pieces are strong, purposeful, and full of character—woven with both precision and care.
When We Arrived
Since 2007, we’ve worked side-by-side with communities in Bangladesh—drawn by the skill of local artisans and the economic challenges they faced. We met women with remarkable ability but few options to earn reliable, fair income. By committing to long-term partnerships and paying 2.5x Prosperity Wages, we’ve helped artisans turn handmade work into meaningful livelihoods. Each basket carries that legacy and heritage.
