Founded in 2018 by fashion industry veterans Courtney Fasciano and Erin Ryder, Cesta Collective is a mission-driven luxury accessories brand that bridges traditional African craft with European finishing. The brand’s signature product is the basket bag, handwoven by female artisans in Rwanda using locally sourced, renewable sisal and organic vegetable dyes. These woven bodies are then shipped to a centuries-old atelier in Italy, where they are finished with responsibly sourced leather and delicate gold hardware. The resulting aesthetic is a refined, timeless take on the classic basket bag, appealing to women who appreciate understated luxury and purposeful purchasing.
