Longaberger Company, located in Dresden, Ohio, has crafted handwoven baskets from hardwood maple sourced in the U.S., as well as pottery and wrought iron products, for over four decades from 1973 to 2018. Following a hiatus, it restarted in 2019, with Dresden artisans perpetuating the century-long basketry tradition. Each basket is handwoven and signed by its maker, reflecting a time when the company had over 4,000 weavers and 70,000 home consultants at the height of its fame.
