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 received my new Market Basket. I LOVE IT! I love the color and size. I had given my other Market Basket to a friend and went on a search to replace it. I used it for my knitting and crochet projects. My new basket is perfect. Your service is terrific. Thank you! I will spread the word. Everyone should have a Fair Trade Market Basket. Denise
I bought Bolga Ghana basket - it looks lovely. I have had one in the past, but this is the best I've seen. Fast delivery. Great value for money. I will recommend it to friends. Brygida in United Kingdom
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.
