The Longaberger Company, based in Dresden, Ohio, has been creating handwoven baskets from U.S.-sourced hardwood maple, along with pottery and wrought iron items, for over four decades, from 1973 until 2018. After a brief pause, it resumed operations in 2019, with Dresden's artisans continuing the legacy of basket weaving that spans a century. Each basket is individually handwoven and signed by the artisan, harking back to a time when the company boasted more than 4,000 weavers and 70,000 home consultants at its peak.
