No one else has the variety of baskets that you have accumulated. I did my research. And no one else has the consistent quality. People with baskets of their own come up and talk with me and several of the baskets do not have the double strand twist and those that do, do not have the vibrant dyes. Carrie
I want you to know that the basket just arrived in perfect shape. Delivery company was great as were the fellows who brought it into the house. It came through the front door without a hitch. I am ecstatic to have it. Thank you for being so conscientious and caring about the delivery. It's such a special piece in our lives. It's just so hard to believe it's here with us - amazing. Peggy
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.
