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
I just wanted to let you know I picked up my new baskets from the post office today and they are LOVELY!!!!! I think they are even prettier than I hoped they would be and I can't wait to hang them on my kitchen wall. Ruth in Norway
All of our African baskets are verified Fair Trade, because we believe that indigenous people around the world should be compensated fairly for their amazing work.
