Bolga Market Basket

$48.00

The beautiful bolga baskets are hand-woven in small villages of Ghana, a tradition passed down from generation to generation. They are woven out of renewable resources, including banana leaf and elephant grass, which grow abundantly in the region. The leather is treated using an all-natural process (either dyed and oiled or painted). Each basket is hand woven and 100% unique! Variations are to be expected and treasured. Baskets are sturdy, strong, and flexible. If properly cared for, your basket will live a long life.

The basket is washable and collapsible..
No two baskets are identical.
Color schemes will vary and may contain a bright pop of color.
Baskets are shipped flat and require reshaping. Completely wet the basket in your bathtub or a large utility sink. Once it is saturated, shape it, putting something heavy in it to hold the shape you want, and let it dry.

Large basket handwoven of Kinkane grass in Ghana measures approximately 15-17 inches across and 9-10 inches deep. Medium measure 14- 15 inches across and 8-9 inches deep.
