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
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.

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.
