Meet the Artisans

This item is fairly made in Africa. Each artisan is able to work from the comfort of their own home and community. The fair payment they receive will not be reduced by traveling expenses, childcare costs or haggled prices. The artisans use their earnings to put food on the table and pay educational expenses for their children.

Basket Preparation: Spray water and let it air dry. Video on how to reshape the baskets: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOdYBPr93PM

Beautiful Basket

This is well constructed and attractive. We bought it for harvesting garden vegetables and it will serve that purpose well. Considering the skill and time it took to construct, the basket was an outstanding value. It will serve our needs for decades, unlike the junk we see in the stores these days. A true work of a master (mistress?) craftsperson!
