The basket I purchased from you is absolutely beautiful and it is displayed prominently in my living room where I see it all through the day. It's my pleasure to support the exceptionally talented weavers. Many Thanks for your commitment to this effort and for your generosity! Clare
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
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.
