My basket shipment arrived in Australia with no issues. The baskets are beautiful and well packaged. Thank you and I’m looking forward to doing business with you again. Patricia
I think I have at least one basket in every room of my home, including bathrooms. They are so beautiful, the shapes, the colors and of course how masterfully they are crafted. I also love that you include information about the artists. In fact, I have the photograph of the woman who made my first basket, the Zulu Ilala Palm, hanging beside my desk. She's holding her spectacular creation, smiling with pride. I love that photograph. Thank you for seeking out these talented artists and giving them a marketplace for their baskets. Clare
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.
