My second basket arrived today, also perfectly on time and carefully boxed. The baskets are gorgeous and beautifully made. So glad I found your site...I will be back. Lauren
I wanted to let you know how satisfied I was with your processing and shipping of my order and with your website. I am very happy with the baskets I received and appreciate the fact that you sent me an accompanying information sheet and that you are a Fair Trade company. Thank you for sourcing and bringing to market these products and supporting the livelihoods of the artisans. Hilary
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.
