We have the joy of
currently having in stock, some hand woven baskets with strong
leather handles, made in West Africa.
Available in all sorts
of woven patterns, styles, and color combinations, these durable
baskets are sure to last for who knows how long a time. We were
at a show in Ft Washington, PA and a lady approached our booth to
look at the baskets. We noticed that she was carrying a basket
that looked much like ours, except the colors were more pale and
it seemed to have a patina. She picked a basket and as she was
paying for her new basket, she shared with us that this new basket
was to replace the basket on her arm which she had bought used 15
years ago!
The baskets come to us
flattened, so we place them in the bathtub for a few minutes and
then reshape them, shake the excess water away and let them dry
overnight. So when we receive an order to be shipped, we flatten
the basket and send along a cute card that tells you how to take
the basket "swimming" so it can be put back into shape. You tell
us the color combination of your choice and we will send them
right along to you.
*$32.50 each plus $8.50
