These baskets are unusual because they are woven from the top down, rather than from the bottom up.
Since wire baskets are woven by many men due to the difficult nature of weaving wire, they are able to stay home on their tribal lands instead of moving to cities to look for work. In the rural groups we work with, the family units are preserved so that the weavers and their families can live more traditional lifestyles.
Thank you so much for your helpful reply. The baskets arrived in Australia around the 3 week mark. I'm delighted with the quality and can't wait to shop again with you! What beautiful handiwork. Carrie
Thank-you for the most Beautiful baskets in the World! This will be my ninth basket and 2nd fan in two days! I just can't seem to stop finding a reason to purchase these incredibly useful and eye-catching baskets!!!!!!! Sherri
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.
