I just wanted to say thank you for offering such beautiful baskets from Africa. I received my basket today and I am so pleased. It was much bigger than I thought it would be. Loved it so much I ordered a smaller size and can't wait to receive it too. Again thanks so much for your great service. Diane
Just a quick note to let you know how happy I am with my shipment! It already arrived today and exceeded my expectations. The craftsmanship of all the baskets is great; one of the Gambibgo Pot Baskets in particular has some of the finest weave and artistry I have seen. Thank you so very much for including Alaska in your shipping policies and for shipping the baskets so lightning fast, I honestly didn't expect them for several more weeks and it was such a wonderful surprise.

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.
