Dave Longaberger passed away a year after its 25th Anniversary in 1998, but through his vision of the future and the many initiatives he began at The Longaberger Company, his legacy will continue.

Their appeal lies in their beauty and functionality, and the individuality of each basket. Today each basket is signed and dated by the weaver, and burned on the bottom of the basket is the Longaberger logo. Although the baskets have been produced in the Dresden factory for 25 years, they have only recently been considered as a collectible.

The rapid growth in interest in the Longaberger baskets is considerable and has been accompanied by an increase in the secondary market.
