Zulu women prepare the materials for weaving these baskets by collecting Ilala palm fronds, pulling them into strips, then use natural materials such as mud, flowers, charcoal, bark, roots and other found materials to dye them before hanging them to dry.

I wanted to send a quick note to express my love & appreciation for Baskets of Africa! For my birthday this past week, my daughter purchased a Ghana basket for me. Not only was I thrilled with it's beauty & workmanship, but also by the cause it supports. Kudos to Baskets of Africa and it's mission to prevent poverty through the economic development of African basket weavers! Keep up the great work! Ruth
