The age-old tradition of basket weaving is usually passed down from grandmother to granddaughter. This helps to preserve Zulu culture as the grandmothers have the opportunity to recite oral history and stories to the younger generations as they all weave together.
I just got home and opened the box with the baskets. I'm really blown away by how beautiful they are. The colors of the shoppers are stunning. The pattern of the sisal bowl is vibrant and so skillfully crafted. It's just thrilling to have such artistry in my home. Clare
I absolutely love the baskets I've gotten over the years. They are such a conversation-piece at the grocery store. Madeline
