I've fallen in love with at least 6-7 baskets to carry my wallet, keys, etc - and I like to decorate our home with trays and large sets of baskets on the floor. Of course, my friends are all very envious of our home and I thank you so much for all the beauty you have brought into my life! Lesley
Well, the weavers of Africa have another big fan. I will be buying more I can assure you.... Jeff
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.
