"This basket is beautiful and practical. It's perfect for my current crochet projects and I'm planning to get a couple more to hold towels, magazines, etc. Very well made, functional and lovely to look at!"
"I have been to Africa several times and love handmade products! These baskets are beautiful and well-made! They met my expectations even though I didn't think they would! One is currently holding my new exercise materials."

Lovely Basket
Date: February 3, 2012
"Exactly what we were looking for ... farmer's market shopping, nice wide bottom so the produce doesn't skwish one another, but deep enough so the bread doesn't up-end itself out of the basket while walking! also perfect for transporting art class supplies to & from class... and i have another by the fireplace filled with magazines, and another filled with doggie toys. My only worry was whether I'd like the design/colors of the basket, but it is beautiful, navy weaving through and a green touch throughout the grass... Price is reasonable, I think. I've paid more in person at local markets, but haven't been able to find them lately. Only wear point to watch for is the handle attachment stitching... Great purchase... Fair trade all the way!"
"I love these baskets. I purchased three of them and they surprised me with the quality, material, and size. Very nice."

"A little smaller than I expected, and I really wish you could pick colors/patterns, but great basket overall.
Using for farmers' market shopping and to stow kids toys."

Big and Sturdy
Date: November 23, 2011
"Love this basket. It is much bigger then I imagined when I read the dimensions. It's also very sturdy. I currently have it holding magazines. May have to get another for guest towels. Love that it is fair trade."

Market Basket - Wow
Date: September 14, 2011
"I did not want one with red/pink/purple as I wanted to use the basket at home as well as the 18th Century Events. The second basket came with nothing but earth tones and is wonderful. It is very sturdy and well made as well as having a lovely pattern. I purchased it because a friend of mine has had her basket 8 years and has taken it from her home to market to the beach and it still looks almost new."

Disappointed
Date: June 29, 2011
"I ordered this basket thinking that I would receive one that looked somewhat like those pictured on this website. But, the one sent to me is enitirely BRIGHT ORANGE. This basket is well made and the size is right; but, I sure didn't want BRIGHT ORANGE! I feel as if somebody just grabbed the basket nobody wanted and sent it to me. Anyway, it's too much trouble to return it. If you order this basket, contact GAIAM and give them a ballpark idea of the color(s) you want. Otherwise, they may have another BRIGHT ORANGE basket to send your way. Surprise!"

Baskets O' Plenty!
Date: June 27, 2011
"I purchased both the small & large market baskets for our lake home; however, I use them in the city & the country for local market produce, groceries, transporting goods to fro from locations. In addition to being beautifully designed, they are well crafted, practical for everyday use, and quite durable. Two value added items in form & function! Thank you for making available these lovely baskets from the Fair Trade Marketplace."
"My market basket is absolutely beautiful and high quality. It's a really good size, as well. I use it in my Yoga Studio to keep magazines and books for students in the lounge area. I might get another one to take to Farm Markets this summer. Very high quality, beautiful craftsmanship and I feel good about having it because I know it is Fair Trade."

Beautiful & Functional
Date: August 15, 2010
"I absolutely love this basket! I'm currently using it to store my yoga props and magazines. I love the pattern and it's a lot sturdier than expected. Plus it's a fair trade item for a great price! The only problem I had was that it was shipped in a slightly too small box, so it arrived squished, but it came with directions on how to reshape it that worked wonders. Overall a great purchase, and I'll definitely keep it in mind for gifts in the future."

Great basket
Date: February 14, 2010
"I use this for my magazines. I have been looking a long time for the perfect magazine holder that wasnt' too bulky or heavy. This is it!"
"I love this basket...and attracts alot of compliments with envy! I have had to stop and write down the GAIAM web address many times at the farmers market and grocery store. It holds a large amount of items and is sturdy enough for jars, cans ,and veg alike. Great Gift idea!"

Beautiful baskets!
Date: January 15, 2010
"Beautifully constructed baskets unique in color and design. Bought four- for my daughters, my mother, and myself. Sturdy all around basket for yarn, magazines, shopping, and gardening. We will enjoy these baskets for years to come."
"I bought a few of these a while ago to help with trips to our local farmer's market. Since then I have ordered these as birthday gifts, christmas gifts, all occasion gifts! Everyone who has received these have loved them and been interested in the fair trade aspect of the baskets! Thanks Gaiam!"

Sturdy and great looking

"With so many baskets out there, I was afraid this might not stand out. But it's clearly an artisan product. I was happy with the ample size and the coloring was bright and cheerful, in fact, it was red and green and natural, nice for a Christmas present - which it was."
