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.
I just wanted to say THANK YOU for the quick and perfect arrival of my African market basket. The shape of the basket stayed perfect, and the basket is stunning. Thank you for the information on the women who make the baskets as well. I would highly recommend your company for these baskets. Linda
I received my Zulu basket and I love it. I have 4 others, and this is my favorite. I look forward to future purchases with your company. Thank you, David
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.
