5 out of 5 starsHad a few delivery issues which were not the sellers fault and they could not have been more helpful. I really appreciate that kind of patience and understanding. The basket is lovely. Very well made with a perfect lilac colour. I also like the fact that theres a tag inside which tells you the name of the person who made it. I will be leaving the tag in my basket. Thank you once again for being such a top seller!

5 out of 5 starsGreat customer service. Seller proactively contacted me to advise of minor difference in the color of two baskets. Once I approved, they were quickly shipped. The baskets looked great. I’m very pleased with the products.

5 out of 5 starsThis basket is soooo pretty! And the seller was very sweet to work with. Free shipping from the UK is a great deal. It is a bit taller than I expected, so I may also buy the medium if it comes back in stock. We are using it to store my toddler daughter’s shoes. It is unique and beautifully made!

5 out of 5 starsI absolutely love this bag. It is unique and high quality. It feels far more expensive than the price. I will definitely be purchasing from this shop again!
