Zulu women prepare the materials for weaving these baskets by collecting Ilala palm fronds, pulling them into strips, then use natural materials such as mud, flowers, charcoal, bark, roots and other found materials to dye them before hanging them to dry.

I just wanted to say THANK YOU for the quick and perfect arrival of my African market basket. The shape of the basket stayed perfect, and the basket is stunning. Thank you for the information on the women who make the baskets as well. I would highly recommend your company for these baskets.
