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.
My baskets arrived today, and I love them!!! The pink one is a gift for my daughter. She was adopted from South Africa, and she loved this basket when she saw it on my computer. I am a blogger and I will take some nice photos and post them on my blog with a link to your site. Natacha
I just received my order of 5 Zulu Wire baskets, and I have to say they are FANTASTIC! The workmanship is outstanding. Kudos to those that created such beauty. I just ordered 2 more. Thank you for providing such lovely products and fair-trade practices to the African tribe weavers making them. Jan
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.
