My baskets have proven grand-child resistant. Tough. Hard to hurt. Hold treasures hidden by 3 year olds. Don't get damaged. Really stand up to a lot of unexpected four-year old muggings. John
I LOVE these baskets. I have so many now I can't use them all. So I guess I'll have to give them as Christmas gifts this year, so I at least get to admire and fondle the artwork! Diane
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.
