I just received my 16 market basket and I absolutely love it! I am so happy that you ship to Canada, so I was able to purchase one. It is beautiful, very useful for me to store all my towels in, is made with much care and detail and was easier than I thought to reshape. It's perfect. Thank you for providing such a great product while assisting others in a fair marketplace. Melissa
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
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.
