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
I just received my basket. Thank you for being so prompt. It is beautiful. Judy
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.
