Wherever it’s placed—on a shelf, coffee table, or kitchen space—this vase brings timeless artistry and a captivating presence to your home.

Each Nostalgia Raffia Vase is handmade in Uganda by artisans through our Shared Trade partner, Kazi. Crafted in a Fair Trade environment and certified with the Nest Seal of Transparency, this piece reflects ethical craftsmanship, cultural heritage, and sustainable design.
