I just wanted to write to tell you how much I enjoy your website. I am a disabled person spending a lot of time just sitting in my wheelchair. I find that it makes me feel better to just sit and stare at the beautiful baskets that you have. I am a college professor, and I have traveled extensively. However I have not seen these beautiful baskets before in my travels. Congratulations on the good work that you are doing. Nancy
Received the baskets I ordered from you and want to thank you for your quality product and super quick shipping. The baskets are even better than I expected. The colors are vibrant, the patterns are expertly executed and best of all they are sturdy. These are gifts I'll be proud to give. Kathy
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.
