These baskets are unusual because they are woven from the top down, rather than from the bottom up.
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.
Just want you to know that I absolutely love the baskets I ordered from you. I will order again from you. They are absolutely beautiful! Love that they are also benefiting the makers. Thanks! Lori
I have ordered from you on a number of occasions and my current order has just arrived---expertly packaged and intact. Just wanted you to know how pleased I am, and I pass along kudos to your organization and the people that work for you. You guys are first class! Marisa
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.
