Large, watertight baskets with lids that fit snugly inside the opening at the top are called Ukhambas.
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.
My second basket arrived today, also perfectly on time and carefully boxed. The baskets are gorgeous and beautifully made. So glad I found your site...I will be back. Lauren
Our baskets arrived in Melbourne, Australia, today, much quicker than we expected! Perfect condition; exactly as pictured. Thank you. I will recommend this site. Victoria
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.
