This bestselling bread warmer features a whitewashed terracotta stone that sits within a handwoven kaisa grass basket with palm wrap. These round bread warmers are handcrafted in India by women escaping human trafficking.
Kaisa is a sturdy wild grass that dries from its natural light green to a pale almost tan color. Artisans cut kaisa grass from riverbanks during monsoon season, leaving the roots for next year's crop. The baskets are crafted by women in Bangladesh. The women are provided steady, fair wages and safe workplaces as well as training in new techniques to expand their skills.
Rahab's Rope exists to empower women and children in the fight against human trafficking by teaching skills to live a life of hope and sustainability.
