Handmade by artisans in Ghana. Fair Trade.

Ideal for storage, carriage, or colorful decor, each Bolga basket makes an extraordinary impact. In one of the most impoverished areas of Ghana, women weavers are earning a sustainable income as they craft these distinctive elephant grass baskets using traditional techniques, patterns, and colors. Due to handmade nature, size, shape, and color may vary. Height listed includes handle. Sm: 10 1/2"h x 13"dia; Lg: 14 1/2"h x 14"dia.

Reshaping Your Bolgatanga Basket: Our artisan partners fold this basket in order to ship more efficiently. To remove creases and restore its shape, dampen basket with a spray bottle or other water source, or by submerging in water for 1 minute. Let it rest for 5 minutes to allow grass to absorb the moisture and become pliable. Bend and press the basket into shape - don't worry, it won't break. Allow it to air dry before use and enjoy your beautiful handwoven basket from Ghana!

Artisans in the Bolgatanga region of Ghana weave this beautifully simple tote from thick, tough elephant grass. Leather handles add style and comfort. Bolga baskets can be easily wet down and reshaped, and can be used and enjoyed for years on end.

Because this is a handcrafted item, each may vary slightly.
