Nestled in rural Massachusetts you will find BasketWeavingSupplies Basketry. Jennifer Baum opened BasketWeavingSupplies (formerly JB-Designs) in the fall of 2002 and launched www.jb-designs.com in January of 2003.
It was the desire of previous owner, Jennifer Baum, to take her love of weaving to another level. Being no stranger to entrepreneurship in the retail industry, it was the most logical avenue for Jen to open a complete basketry supply shop.
In 2006 Jennifer Baum sold JB-Designs to Jennifer Rhodes and the business was moved to another small, rural, Massachusetts community. Jenn Rhodes has been a basket weaver, teacher and designer for over 10 years. The opportunity to buy JB-Designs came at the perfect time and was a perfect extension of a passion and love of basketry.
Since I have taken over the business we have continued offering the same quality and service that Jennifer Baum began the business with. We continue to add products, kits and patterns on a regular basis.
At BasketWeavingSupplies, the array of products is constantly growing. “I believe it is important to keep the inventory fresh. We do so by adding new patterns, kits and materials on a monthly basis, many of which are designs by several of the country’s wonderful basket designers.” says Jenn.
In addition to offering hundreds of patterns, over 90 unique kits, and hand pounded black ash splint, BasketWeavingSupplies offers superior quality reed, oak, ash and leather handles, custom dyed reed and seagrass, and hand manufactured wooden bases. “Being a stickler for quality products, our entire selection of dyed reed is done on the premises. I offer custom dyed reed and seagrass, as well as a selection of standard colors. As a weaver I know how important it can be have the specific color you need for a project. If I dye the reed and seagrass, I know it will be the same superior quality I offer in its natural color. It is necessary to work with good quality materials,” Jenn adds. “High quality products produce high quality goods.”
JB-Designs sets itself apart from other suppliers, not only by offering an ever-expanding inventory of great quality products at extremely reasonable prices, but also by establishing a new standard of discount pricing. JB-Designs offers a three-tiered discount program. The JB-BUCKS™ customer rewards program leads the way by offering a 5% return to all customers in coupon form to use towards future purchases. The second tier consists of wholesale pricing, and the third tier offers distributor pricing levels. “I believe that it is only fair to offer something for everyone, not just offer discounts to those who buy in bulk quantities.”
JB-Designs offers shipping within 24 hours anywhere throughout the world, having shipped to every state in the U.S. and 9 countries abroad. JB-Designs ships packages Monday through Friday, and they pride themselves on excellent customer service.
“I provide the customer service I would want to receive. That includes expeditious shipping. It also includes standing behind the product with 100% guarantee; our slogan stands true, ‘The Best is The Least We Can Offer’.”
