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.
It is my dream to help crafts women in Africa through the use of commerce of their goods. I love the hand work and it touches a part of me. I admire what you are doing. Vanessa
I love what you are doing. I can feel good about purchasing from you knowing the artists are paid fairly, treated with dignity and respect, and recognized for their skill. I prefer to decorate with items that are hand made with care as opposed to mass-produced. And knowing that you travel to these locations and work directly with the artists will make it even more special to display one of the beautiful pieces in my home. Thanks again! Misty
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.
