What makes longaberger baskets such a collectable item?
Some 35 years after Dave Longaberger founded The Longaberger Company with five basketmakers, the company reflects our early roots and family tradition of handmade artisanship. When you purchase a Longaberger basket, you are sharing in the Longaberger story and family tradition. The Company’s mission statement — “To Stimulate A Better Quality Of Life” — reflects Longaberger’s commitment to the company’s founding philosophy that people are the key to our success. We are a family-owned company with a family-friendly environment. Today, The Longaberger Company is America’s premier maker of handcrafted baskets and offers other home and lifestyle products, including pottery, wrought iron, fabric accessories and specialty foods. The company is based in Newark, Ohio, and there are approximately 45,000 independent Home Consultants located in all U.S. states who sell Longaberger products directly to customers.
