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.

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!

Thank-you for the most Beautiful baskets in the World! This will be my ninth basket and 2nd fan in two days! I just can't seem to stop finding a reason to purchase these incredibly useful and eye-catching baskets!!!!!!!

Sherri

Thank you so much for your very prompt service. My 3 baskets were packed and shipped the same day they were ordered. Also, because I am usually skeptical of claims such as yours that state, you will receive the exact basket pictured, on the day the shipment arrived, I checked your website and indeed my baskets were no longer pictured there. Amazing!

Jodi

Thank You Very Much! You have got to be one of the best companies around in being so attentive to details and responsive to customers. You are prompt. I received my UPS tracking and my baskets will be here Monday. I am loving this!!!

Juli

Beautiful baskets, great website, and fabulous friendly service!

Sarah

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. She directed me to look up Baskets of Africa and I'm so thankful that you have such a beautiful site! They are so incredibly gorgeous. With the deepest of thanks to the Amazingly Talented and Beautiful hands that made my baskets!!!!

Sherri

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.

Carla

Just wanted to say that I received my basket, and it is even more beautiful than I had hoped. I actually got chills when I saw it! Thank you.

Karen

Basket arrived today as promised. It is wonderful! Even better than pictured. Couldn't be happier. Will look forward to ordering again.

Mary Lee

I am very pleased with your service. I especially like the information pages on how the baskets are made. I find the packaging in a sturdy box, very well done, and the delivery prompt. The baskets themselves are just BEAUTIFUL - I've purchased several for gifts and for myself over the past 10 months. I find the value excellent and appreciate your wide selection. MANY THANKS!!

Mary

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

I absolutely love the baskets I've gotten over the years. They are such a conversation-piece at the grocery store.

Madeline

I just received my first order from your company and the baskets are even more beautiful than I expected! Your customer service and shipping were superior and your Fair Trade business model is one reason why I ordered from you. I will be ordering another large basket I had my eye on immediately. Thanks from a happy customer.

Sue

I ordered an Easter basket for my granddaughter; I was so happy when it arrived that I came back to order 3 more baskets!

Valerie

My basket shipment arrived in Australia with no issues. The baskets are beautiful and well packaged. Thank you and I’m looking forward to doing business with you again.

Patricia

I just received three baskets from Ghana. They are all beautiful and will make wonderful Christmas gifts. So much so that I just ordered another basket. Thank you for making these purchases so easy. You have a great site and I'm sure I'll be ordering from you again.

Diane

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

Our baskets arrived in Melbourne, Australia, today, much quicker than we expected! Perfect condition; exactly as pictured. Thank you. I will recommend this site.

Linda

Your baskets were well liked by the recipients. I want to also say your service was the best. I will continue to be a customer.

Michael

I love what you are doing. I can feel good about purchasing from you knowing the artists are paid fairly, treated with dignity and respect, and recognized for their skill. I prefer to decorate with items that are hand made with care as opposed to mass-produced. And knowing that you travel to these locations and work directly with the artists will make it even more special to display one of the beautiful pieces in my home. Thanks again!

Misty

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

Roger

I just received my basket and couldn't be happier. It's beautiful. Great packing and fast shipping as well. Hope to be able to buy another one.

Michelle

Everyone I have given these handmade baskets to just love them. Then when they read the story of where and how the baskets are made it makes them that much more special.

Charles

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!

Suzi

Just a quick note to let you know how happy I am with my shipment! It already arrived today and exceeded my expectations. The craftsmanship of all the baskets is great; one of the Gambibgo Pot Baskets in particular has some of the finest weave and artistry I have seen. Thank you so very much for including Alaska in your shipping policies and for shipping the baskets so lightning fast, I honestly didn't expect them for several more weeks and it was such a wonderful surprise.

Anja

I have received my order just now. I cannot believe it already arrived. I just ordered it a few days ago. I am very amazed how quickly you shipped the order out. I just wanted to say THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! I will support your company as much as I can. Thank you again for the best service ever.

Keiko

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

Harumi

I received my Zulu basket and I love it. I have 4 others, and this is my favorite. I look forward to future purchases with your company. Thank you,

We have here the baskets. They are precious!! Thank you very much!! We are charmed with them. 🙂

Nuria in Spain

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.

Nancy

I got my baskets today safely. They’re amazing! Many thanks.

Maria

I wanted to send a quick note to express my love & appreciation for Baskets of Africa! For my birthday this past week, my daughter purchased a Ghana basket for me. Not only was I thrilled with it's beauty & workmanship, but also by the cause it supports. Kudos to Baskets of Africa and it's mission to prevent poverty through the economic development of African basket weavers! Keep up the great work!

Ruth

The baskets arrived and everything is stunningly beautiful!!! . They are so beautiful, it humbles me. I am in awe of the weavers' talent every time an order arrives! The shipments arrive so quickly, too.

Carrie

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

It has just arrived!!! Thank you! It's beautiful!

Denise in Brazil

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

Sagar in India

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!

Jeanette

My basket has arrived. It's lovely, just like I wanted. Thank you so much!

Joanna in Poland

Thank you so much for your helpful reply. The baskets arrived in Australia around the 3 week mark. I'm delighted with the quality and can't wait to shop again with you! What beautiful handiwork.

Carrie

I received my order yesterday - great service. The baskets are truly a work of art & will proudly be displayed on my dining room wall. Please extend my appreciation to the artists.

This is my third order from your site...I love your baskets!

Erin

I have just received my basket yesterday and love it.

Ming in Singapore

I received my basket today and am more than thrilled!!! It is stunningly beautiful and the workmanship is amazing. Your company provided excellent service and I am most grateful. I will always remember it's origin and the craftsmanship that went into making it. Thank you so much for making them available!!!

Judy

This is the 4th or 5th basket I have ordered from you and each one is wonderful. I received the basket in less than a week, I was so pleasantly surprised when it arrived in such a short time. Thank you! And let me say, that I use the oval Ghana basket as a 'book bag.' I teach so I have used my old basket for almost 4 years carrying papers to correct, grade book, etc. It is so sturdy and practical for what I wanted. I use carabiner clips to hold my keys and reading glasses, it's great! Thank you again for the product and the great service.

Sandy

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!

Pam

OH!! I am SO excited! It's a Christmas present for someone who comes in on Saturday so I am so happy that it will be here before then. I want to surprise her at Christmas... Thank you!!! And thank you for having a website that we can order from! I saw the baskets at a great coffee shop a few weeks ago and kicked myself that I didn't pick one up then and there, so I was super thrilled that you have a website to order from!!!

Lynn

I just received 4 of your beautiful baskets. Very special! I love that the weavers are being supported.

Marjorie

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

Victoria in Australia

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

My baskets have proven grand-child resistant. Tough. Hard to hurt. Hold treasures hidden by 3 year olds. Don't get damaged. Really stand up to a lot of unexpected four-year old muggings.

John

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

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 want to let you know that my baskets arrived about an hour ago. I was so excited. I opened both boxes and I am so pleased and happy. They are just what I hoped they would be...large and beautifully made and very colorful. I could not be more pleased. I have told many people about your website and these wonderful baskets. -- Cathy My daughter-in-law is from Kenya and was happy to receive this as a gift. The bowl is beautiful in the sun and the fair trade makes me feel good about the purchase too.

Carol

Great service. Item well packaged. Delivered on time. Beautiful!

Michael

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