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
Terry
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
Clare
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

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.

Sandy
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
Mary
I received two boxes today on my order. I just loved everything I purchased from you. Thanks. Mary

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

Thank you!!! I have one of these beautiful baskets and wherever I carry it people tell me how cool it is and ask where I got it. I tell them. I hope they are all buying them from you!!! Maggie
John
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

Dawn
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. Dawn
Karim
My highest compliments. What a truly noble endeavor to bring the gorgeous crafts of the people of Africa to grace our lives here in America. I can't describe the feeling of buying something that is made by the hands of people who give, yet who have had so much taken from them. Karim

Carrie
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
Joan
Really beautiful basket and sturdy. I love it. Joan
Delia
The baskets arrived last week and they are so lovely! Delia

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

I love the Bolga baskets because they are beautiful, quality, functional works of art. The saturated colors are amazing. This may sound crazy, but when I opened the box, the basket was breathtaking!

Misty
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
Michael
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

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
Clare
Thank you for all you do to support and empower these extremely talented artists. Clare
Jodi
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

My two baskets just arrived, and they are gorgeous!! Paula

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. Tyler

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.

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

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
