Weaving these baskets from the top down, rather than from the bottom up, and using forms such as tuna cans to create shapes makes them even more unusual.
Since wire baskets are woven by many men due to the difficult nature of weaving wire, they are able to stay home on their tribal lands instead of moving to cities to look for work. In the rural groups we work with, the family units are preserved so that the weavers and their families can live more traditional lifestyles.
Over the moon excited! My children will be so excited to play and learn and appreciate these beautiful goods. Will be back for more as I plan my wall hangings! Kristin
This is sooooo adorable!! I love this basket a lot!! I will be ordering more. THANK YOU!! Leesa
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.
