Handmade in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The Zulu are the largest tribe in Southern Africa, renowned for their artistry and craftsmanship. Dotted on the rolling hills of KwaZulu-Natal, there exists a beehive of industry, where numerous women work at the art of basketry. They have taken the traditional art form and the quality and artistry of the baskets has improved over the past decades. Many women support their families by their basket weaving, and a number of younger women have been able to pay their own college fees. The women work in their homes, where they can assimilate basket-making into their normal routine—giving themselves time to raise their children, work in the fields, collect water and other daily chores. "These exquisite baskets take hours to make. I have seen one in progress with different colored wires going out in every direction—it's impossible to believe it will come together in a tightly woven, even piece—but it does." —Elizabeth Bennett
