Comments from our customers

WOW!! I am continuously amazed at the quality and exquisiteness of all your baskets. And that's coming from someone who is half Zulu and half iSwati.

Dumisile

Received my basket this week and love it! California now charges for plastic bags, so I use my basket to avoid the fees. I've already gotten many compliments. Thank you!

Kristin

My wife LOVES the two baskets I got her for Christmas... too much... She won't use them. She just wants them for decorations. I wanted to replace old baskets with really pretty ones. oh well. 🙂

Dave

I just got home and opened the box with the baskets. I'm really blown away by how beautiful they are. The colors of the shoppers are stunning. The pattern of the sisal bowl is vibrant and so skillfully crafted. It's just thrilling to have such artistry in my home.

Clare

Thank you for all that you do for so many people. Those who weave the baskets earn money, while the rest of us are blessed with beautiful baskets!

Thank you! The baskets are stunning. I have to share with you that my previous order of three was to be one for me and two for gift giving. In the end, I gave something else and kept them all! I just love the brilliant colors and geometric designs.

Linda

I love this basket. It is extremely well crafted. It's very strong, sturdy and will last for years. I bought it for my sewing, but you could use it for whatever. I also liked the information about where it came from that was included with the basket. It was well worth the money. I would definitely buy more in the future. These are truly unique baskets.

Mary Lee

I just received my 16 market basket and I absolutely love it! I am so happy that you ship to Canada, so I was able to purchase one. It is beautiful, very useful for me to store all my towels in, is made with much care and detail and was easier than I thought to reshape. It's perfect. Thank you for providing such a great product while assisting others in a fair marketplace.

Melissa

You can't imagine how excited I was to find your site. I received a beautiful Ghana basket just like the mini ones I ordered as a gift from my mother-in-law. I love it so much, and I am a huge fan of gifting to others what you too love. So, hence, the large order...all of it gifts for my sisters, Mom, teacher friends, and girlfriends.

I just wanted to let you know that I got my baskets yesterday. WOW! That was fast. I wanted to tell you how pleased I am with the baskets and your service. I also really appreciate your website set-up that allows customers to choose the baskets they want versus most others who give you no choice. I've bought two other baskets locally just because I wanted that choice. Now that I've found your site, I'll be back!!

Sheila

I love my beautiful baskets. Much praise to the wonderful women who create them!

I got them today!! They are all totally gorgeous and I love them. I've got three up on a shelf in my utility room with socks and hats and gloves and stuff in and the two big ones will go on another shelf somewhere else, but they're so nice I'm thinking of all the things I want to do with them and where they could go. They're beautiful, thank you so much!

Helen in the UK

It arrived within a few days and looks exactly like the picture. Large with comfortable handle. Well-made and beautiful. Comes with fair trade information. Love it!

Carrie

I've fallen in love with at least 6-7 baskets to carry my wallet, keys, etc - and I like to decorate our home with trays and large sets of baskets on the floor. Of course, my friends are all very envious of our home and I thank you so much for all the beauty you have brought into my life!

Lesley

My baskets arrived today, and I love them!!! The pink one is a gift for my daughter. She was adopted from South Africa, and she loved this basket when she saw it on my computer. I am a blogger and I will take some nice photos and post them on my blog with a link to your site.

Natacha

I just received the 2 baskets I ordered and was stunned by their beauty. You have a brand new and very faithful fan now.

Margaret

I am so delighted with my new basket! I'm a handloom weaver and have woven a few simple baskets. I appreciate the work that has gone into making my Zulu Ilala Palm basket.

Sherrie

I just placed my first order on your site a couple of weeks ago and I am absolutely delighted. The service was fast, and basket looked great! Thanks!

Claudia

I received my basket last week. Your website said exactly as shown in image but I was a bit skeptical until it arrived. And YES! It is the exact same one shown on your website. It's not only beautiful, it's also just what I've been needing. This basket will serve me well at farmers' markets, picnic outings, and many everyday errands. I am pleased.

The baskets are beautiful and well-made. I've been admiring the lovely ones done by the Zulu women. Service was quick and the baskets arrived quickly.

Lynn

Just wanted to let you know the baskets were delivered home yesterday. And we love the baskets!

Sagar in India

I purchased a Bolga basket and fan from you recently. I wanted you to know that it was a great buying experience from beginning to end. Your website is straightforward and easy to use. You have an incredible selection, and the item descriptions were accurate. It was difficult to decide which basket and fan to buy, but I finally made a decision and placed my order. Your status email communication was great, and the next thing I knew, the box was on my doorstep! So quick!

Terry

I received my 3 beautiful Ugandan baskets a couple of days ago, and I am very happy with my purchases. Thank you also for the information sheets that tell a little more about where they are from and how they are made. I appreciate your prompt and courteous customer service.

Alice

Thank you for beautiful baskets! I use them almost every day!

Harumi

I just wanted to write to tell you how much I enjoy your website. I am a disabled person spending a lot of time just sitting in my wheelchair. I find that it makes me feel better to just sit and stare at the beautiful baskets that you have. I am a college professor, and I have traveled extensively. However I have not seen these beautiful baskets before in my travels. Congratulations on the good work that you are doing.

Nancy

Looking forward to these beautiful weavings. I've bought pretty bowls and plates from you before, and they are all lovely.

Melanie

Props to you for your lovely calligraphy gift messages. One of my gift recipients commented that it was so well done, she was amazed! Thank you for the extra effort. I love your products, especially the Ghanaian baskets, and have gifted several.

Deb

Hi! I'm so glad I found your website! I will definitely direct my friends to check it out!

Cristin

No one else has the variety of baskets that you have accumulated. I did my research. And no one else has the consistent quality. People with baskets of their own come up and talk with me and several of the baskets do not have the double strand twist and those that do, do not have the vibrant dyes.

Carrie

I just received a Zulu palm basket. I am more than pleased. It is absolutely beautiful.

Alice

I am very pleased with my purchases from Baskets of Africa. The baskets and fans are beautiful, very well made and accurately represented on your web site; orders are packaged carefully and shipped quickly. And it is especially good to know that your organization is working on behalf of skilled craft artists and that my purchases help to support your efforts and theirs. Thank you for making these beautiful baskets available.

Louise

I continue to use my African basket all the time as my garden-produce basket. I LOVE IT!!! It's 100% amazing and awesome.

Dave

Delivered earlier than expected.

Rob

My order was just delivered, and I couldn't be happier! The stone sculpture was packaged carefully and arrived in perfect condition. It is beautiful and well made. I will find the perfect spot to display it permanently but for now I just wanted to contact you immediately and tell you how pleased I am with this purchase. I will share your website and look forward to future orders.

Debbie

Arrived promptly, ahead of schedule. The items were better than I thought they would be. Excellent craftsmanship, we are very pleased. Definitely shop here again!

Thomas

I received my Zimbabwe Masterweave basket today in perfect condition (very nice packing job I might add). It's a beauty, a very nice addition to my growing collection. It now resides in a place of honor on a wall in my kitchen. This isn't my first purchase from you, and it certainly will not be the last! Thanks again.

Michael

Just letting you know that my new baskets arrived today in perfect condition.

I received my Zulu basket today and, of course, it's beautiful. It's always so much fun to get a package from you-- just makes my day! I really can't adequately express how much it means to me. As I've told you before, you're a very special individual to do the work you do, and the weavers and your customers are the lucky ones who benefit from it. Once again, thank you so very much! By the way, every time I think your site can't possibly get more variety, you get more outstanding merchandise. Holy cow! Never ceases to amaze me!

Diane

Thanks so much for your wonderful customer service! Looking forward to receiving my baskets!

Casey

Thank you once again for all of your help. The package arrived Thursday, so I was able to give it to my sister on Friday night. She absolutely loved it. I told her that if she ever wants to get an awesome gift for someone or if someone is looking to get something for another that she should recommend your company. You have been so wonderful to deal with. I appreciate all of your help in getting this basket for her.

Denise

Your baskets are beautiful and your range second to none (many more than I've found in Australia).

I saw a woman at the shopping center today with one of your baskets. I couldn't take my eyes off of it - it was so beautiful.

With the deepest of thanks to the Amazingly Talented and Beautiful hands that made my baskets!!!!

I just opened the box of Binga baskets I recently ordered. I had to write and say that I am blown away by how gorgeous they are. As your tag notes, I also have never seen ones so beautifully woven. It was a treat to open the box!

Josephine

It was hard to decide between them. They are all very beautiful. I love the basket I have by Nomkhosi Nkosi. It is displayed prominently in my living room. It's inspiring to have such amazing pieces of art in my home!

Clare

Great, today morning I received the fantastic delivery! Magnificent, stunning! I appreciate it very much!

Rosalba in Italy

Your company is so customer friendly and well managed. I continue to be impressed. We don't hear compliments enough, so I'm always happy to give them out (when I mean them!).

Beverly

Wonderful smallish medium basket - received quickly in excellent shape.

Omar

Got it today! I LOVE it! It is exactly what I wanted. It is art on the wall in the kitchen most of the time, and a basket when needed. I am just thrilled with the purchase.

Dava

I thought if the baskets were anything like what I saw on the Internet, they were going to be spectacular...they are even better. Oh my Gosh! I can't believe how beautiful these are! These are incredible works of art and will be treated as such in our home and I am sure that I will be buying more from you in the future… Thanks for making my day!

The baskets are beautiful.... gorgeous colors and designs.

Thanks a lot, Baskets of Africa is simply wonderful!

Patricia in Brazil

I just received my new Market Basket. I LOVE IT! I love the color and size. I had given my other Market Basket to a friend and went on a search to replace it. I used it for my knitting and crochet projects. My new basket is perfect. Your service is terrific. Thank you! I will spread the word. Everyone should have a Fair Trade Market Basket.

Denise

Package just arrived. Baskets are gorgeous. Black one is very striking, love it. I think the lace beaded one is incredible. So very delicate. It is beautiful. Front and center on my English antique piano from the 1800's. Surrounded by almost all African pieces. It is just lovely. Thank you so much for great service and beautiful items. It is nice that you send the actual piece you show. Thanks for everything.

Ann

Everyone likes the baskets, so I keep 2 or 3 around my office to give as gifts to clients.

The basket arrived today; it is lovely. So are the delightful beads you sent. Thanks for your great customer service.

I just want to tell you that the beautiful basket I just received is perfect in every way! I've passed a link to your website on to the buyer of African baskets at my local natural food store. The option you offer for cloth handle baskets is unique and so welcome to us vegans. Can't wait to go to market with this treasure on my arm 😉
