About
We started our business in 2008, and in 2010, I went to Ghana by myself to meet the weavers, and directly purchase from them. We buy from women and widows that I met while I was in Ghana. We have since added totes, hats, fans from Madagascar. We work with 12 women over there. We love our baskets, hats, and totes, and the connection we have with them in Africa.

Production Practices
The ladies we work with take natural fibers like grasses, reeds, and raffia. They dye the natural fibers, and weave them by hand. Once the baskets are made, they make the beautiful fabric on the outside of the basket. Then the handles and covers are attached.m
