Weaving Makenge Bush Root Baskets in Zambia
In the Western province of Zambia, not far from the border with Angola, the mostly Mbunda speaking people weave these ruggedly unique baskets.
These baskets are of a similar style to those woven in nearby Zimbabwe, but with a more rustic touch.

The basket I purchased from you is absolutely beautiful and it is displayed prominently in my living room where I see it all through the day. It's my pleasure to support the exceptionally talented weavers. Many Thanks for your commitment to this effort and for your generosity! Clare
My highest compliments. What a truly noble endeavor to bring the gorgeous crafts of the people of Africa to grace our lives here in America. I can't describe the feeling of buying something that is made by the hands of people who give, yet who have had so much taken from them. Karim
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.
