What Customers Say

Rated 5 out of 5 — 4 verified reviews

These baskets are GREAT! They're handmade, strong, durable, and every one is unique, being entirely hand-made.

Specifications:

  • Length: 16" - 20"
  • Width: 8" - 10"
  • Height: 10" - 12" (not including handles)
  • Leather Wrapped Handles

Proceeds from the sale of these baskets help to provide healthcare, school fees, and community buildings for the weavers and their children.

Bolgatanga is the largest town in the Upper East region of Ghana, about 20 miles South of the Burkina Faso border and very close to the edge of the Sahara Desert. The climate is extremely dry except for one rainy season which lasts about 2 or 3 months, making agriculture very difficult. As a result, basket weaving is the main income for this region.

The supplier is a member of the Fair Trade Federation. For 20 years they have used Fair Trade principles in all their dealings and have worked with many of the same artisans for over a decade, supporting them and their extended families while working together to bring these African baskets to the American market. One of the greatest parts of importing from Africa is seeing the positive impact they have on the many artisans and their families.

Perfect!

"This basket is EXACTLY what I wanted. I use it daily. I’ve shared your website with many friends after they saw my basket 😊."

Claire H. (5/5)

Beautiful!

"I bought 3 items - 1Basket- 2 bags I LOVE them - I get so many compliments Every time I take one with me - The craftsmanship is truly a work of art They came together in 1 box - so they were a little warped- but - they re-shape so easily (They give you instructions on reshape) And the money helps - goes to a great cause"

"I purchased the oval basket. It is well made and so pretty. I am hoping to use it for carrying along crafting supplies on the run That is if my daughter does not lay claim to it first. She has had her eye on it."
