Everyone likes the baskets, so I keep 2 or 3 around my office to give as gifts to clients. Roger
I just received my new Market Basket. I LOVE IT! I love the color and size. I had given my other Market Basket to a friend and went on a search to replace it. I used it for my knitting and crochet projects. My new basket is perfect. Your service is terrific. Thank you! I will spread the word. Everyone should have a Fair Trade Market Basket. Denise
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.
