Meet the Artisans of Bel Ombre

Discover the secrets of traditional basketry and the craftsmanship kept alive in the South's workshops.

Published on 8 August 2026

In Bel Ombre, a handful of workshops keep vacoas-leaf basketry alive, a skill handed down from generation to generation.

We spent a morning with these artisans to understand their craft: from harvesting the leaves to the final weave, a single basket takes nearly two days of work.

Their workshops are listed in the guide's Artisans & Makers section.
