The people from the region rely on the sale of handcrafted items to supplement their income, and their craftsmanship is demonstrated by the high quality of these artfully woven baby bassinets.The weaving of baskets in Ghana has been a traditional skill for many generations, and is often a communal process. The baskets sold by Swahili Modern are all fair trade.All orders ship with a free gift! Gifts will vary and include items such as a shea butter lip balm, soapstone box, or safari pocket mirror.
