Fair Trade Baskets
Some of our most prolific basket makers come from Ghana, where subsistence level farmers select, color and shape sustainable grasses into the famous Bolgatanga baskets so many people admire. You are sure to find many uses for the variety of sizes and shapes of these beautiful baskets, which can take three days to make. Pine trees in Central American have very long needles, which fair trade artisans’ craft into baskets of subtle beauty. Then, there are the stunning baskets from South Africa known as Zulu Telephone Wire baskets made by Zulu basket-weavers of extraordinary skill. These distinctively colorful baskets are the highest level of basket-making art – all made from colorful wire. So, whether you are a passionate basket collector, or need some containers to help organize your life, we have a wide variety of hand-woven baskets waiting for you.
