We love the boldness of this simple chiqui chiqui tray basket. It can be used as a striking wall hanging piece or as a tray to keep everything from fruits to bowls and votive candles, or on the bathroom counter for your toiletries. 

Ana Gladys Aponte leads Asosaricana, a group of 15-women weavers who have learned the art of basket weaving from their mothers and are committed to passing their skills down to their own children and future generations. Asosaricana is the name given to the commercial organization they have created in order to keep this cultural expression alive.
