My son and daughter-in-law love this basket, as well as its matching hamper! They arrived quickly and in perfect condition. Now they are proving very useful, and add a cheerful note to their baby daughter's room. This gift was a smash hit--for the above reasons, and because it is so satisfying to have something hand made with great care and know that it was purchased fair trade and benefited the artisans. Thank you, Swahili Modern!
