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 received my order of 5 Zulu Wire baskets, and I have to say they are FANTASTIC! The workmanship is outstanding. Kudos to those that created such beauty. I just ordered 2 more. Thank you for providing such lovely products and fair-trade practices to the African tribe weavers making them. Jan
I think I have at least one basket in every room of my home, including bathrooms. They are so beautiful, the shapes, the colors and of course how masterfully they are crafted. I also love that you include information about the artists. In fact, I have the photograph of the woman who made my first basket, the Zulu Ilala Palm, hanging beside my desk. She's holding her spectacular creation, smiling with pride. I love that photograph. Thank you for seeking out these talented artists and giving them a marketplace for their baskets. Clare
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.
