We’re offering something new and very special. We will be offering a variety of woven baskets from Africa (especially Ghana), Bangaladesh, Madagascar, and many other villages of weavers from around the world.

What’s special about these baskets:

• All the weavers are paid a Prosperity Wage. (What’s that?) A Prosperity wage is more than Fair Trade. Our weavers are paid enough so that they can afford more than just the essentials of food, clothing, and housing, - they can also afford such things as medical care and education for their children.
• All our baskets pass rigorous quality control. We pay Prosperity Wages - you get a valuable product worth the price and that you will enjoy for years.
• All of our baskets are one-of-a-kind. We photograph each one separately, and you get the exact item with the colors, look, and features that you order. There is no extra charge added for the listing of unique items.

One caveat: Since each of the items is unique, we will have similar, but not exact copies of any basket you order. Please keep in mind that once a basket is sold, that unique item will no longer be available. Also, this is true for categories as well. We anticipate that some of our basket categories will sell out and will not be available again for a year or more, or may no longer be available.

Please enjoy looking through our gorgeous baskets. We will be updating and adding more frequently. If you see one you love, please purchase before it attracts another buyer.
