Just wanted to say that I received my basket, and it is even more beautiful than I had hoped. I actually got chills when I saw it! Thank you. Karen
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
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.
