I just want to tell you that the beautiful basket I just received is perfect in every way! I've passed a link to your website on to the buyer of African baskets at my local natural food store. The option you offer for cloth handle baskets is unique and so welcome to us vegans. Can't wait to go to market with this treasure on my arm ;) Carolyn
The handle is strong, the walls are smooth so that if you do use it for yarn and knitting related tools, you don't have to worry about snags. I'll be buying more!! Donna
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.
