- There is nothing in the world quite like a Gullah basket. Highly regarded and intricately stitched, each one showcases the maker’s artistry, as well as the centuries of skill passed down through Gullah families in South Carolina’s Lowcountry region. The tradition dates back to the 1700s, a craft rooted in West African culture. For more than eight generations, the Gullah community has continued the legacy, and now, for the first time, these incredible designs are available for purchase on Etsy in partnership with Nest and Bloomberg Philanthropies.

Beautiful lost tradition, thank you for keeping it alive, I am proud of you. Family.❤
Congratulations! I was born here in Charleston where I still live today. I am also a Sweetgrass basket weaver. I wish you all great success ❤️
WISHING SUCCESS FOR THESE WONDERFUL WOMEN!
So thrilled to see the heritage and talents being celebrated in this way. Congratulations!
I Love that Gullah Basket weaving, the Skill is Amazing💚Awesome Ladies.
I see similarities in the weaving patterns here in Aotearoa NZ and in the Pasifika Region💚Sending Love from the Pacific.
Wonderful weavings and tradition❣️So very interesting and impressive. I love that these skills have been passed from one generation to another. Wishing the Gullah creators/weavers much success on Etsy.
This is beautiful and wonderful and should be culturally promoted and preserved. Don't have anything of Native Americans that I know of, and reading an article, a tradition from Georgia to Florida. Florida was a free state under the Spanish, and that explains part of the family name that I read about them. Cayetano, like Catholic saint, San Cayetano. I'm crazy about baskets, so I'm a basket case too, lol, new unique artisanship, vintage and antique baskets. Remember that Moses was a basket case.
Beautiful intricate craftsmanship
Another way of lacing natural fibers.
Beautiful baskets!
Absolutely beautiful work, Thank you Etsy for being an Ally and showcasing such awesome Women!
I bought a Gullah basket 2 years ago from a weaver in SC and it's one of my favorite things. Very few people know this, Justice Clarence Thomas' first language isn't English, it is Gullah.
I love this so much! Definitely have my eye on a few legacy pieces from this community. Thank you for sharing this Etsy. Well and beautifully done to the Gullah Weaving Community!
Magnificent! I buy almost all my gifts on Etsy & everything I purchase for the most part "must" be handmade; now I'd love to check this shop out as well!
extremely good upload Etsy. I broke the thumbs up on your video. Always keep up the great work.
💛💛💛
Welcome!
Totally awesome! Beautiful baskets
Get dat money. Thx our ancestors.
Awesome stuff but very expensive. Some of these works are in the thousands of dollars. I guess these great crafts are only for rich people.
Disappointed that you're helping yet again, Americans. The way this was presented was as if these people are actually in Africa.... they are not. We Americans have had enough help with stimulus checks, extended unemployment and PPP loans/grants. Any legitimate business took advantage of that.
