Sincerely, I was utterly disappointed when I visited Eko Market. I did find the handcrafted home decoration items like baskets, little flower stand and whatnots but, the finishing was not good at all and I just wanted more creativity.

I got busy with other things and totally forgot about my desire for a home make-over by using handicraft till about a month ago.

Since am more of an online shopper, I got Googling and voila! I found MitiMeth listed as one of Bellafricana’s verified merchants (this was before I joined Bellafricana). Man!! I was ecstatic.

The finishing was perfect and you could see that a lot of creativity has been put into it. Another part that I really liked is how durable this products look. Brings to mind what we said about craftsmanship in one of our previous posts.
