We have just bought some of these baskets and would like to share the information from the New Internationalist website about the project where these baskets are made.
Tintsaba is an organization of sisal weavers based in and around the hilltop town of Piggs Peak in Swaziland. Over 900 women in Swaziland have contributed to Tintsaba's growth – at its core Tintsaba is its women.
