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 wanted to write to tell you how much I enjoy your website. I am a disabled person spending a lot of time just sitting in my wheelchair. I find that it makes me feel better to just sit and stare at the beautiful baskets that you have. I am a college professor, and I have traveled extensively. However I have not seen these beautiful baskets before in my travels. Congratulations on the good work that you are doing. Nancy
I am very pleased with my purchases from Baskets of Africa. The baskets and fans are beautiful, very well made and accurately represented on your web site; orders are packaged carefully and shipped quickly. And it is especially good to know that your organization is working on behalf of skilled craft artists and that my purchases help to support your efforts and theirs. Thank you for making these beautiful baskets available. Louise
