Our fair trade, wavy and roomy Bolga basket is meticulously handwoven in Ghana from Kinkanhe straw, also known as Vetiver or elephant grass, and finished with a sturdy leather handle. Each basket showcases unique, assorted patterns, highlighting the artistry of skilled Ghanaian weavers.
More than just a beautiful basket, this large container offers versatile utility for your home. Use it as a striking décor piece, an eye-catching tabletop centerpiece, or practical storage for blankets, toys, or magazines. The wavy silhouette and earthy tones make it a true conversation starter that brings global style to any space.
Beyond its beauty and function, this basket supports environmental sustainability. Kinkanhe straw helps smallholder farmers with soil and water conservation, erosion control, runoff retention, and land and water remediation, promoting eco-friendly farming practices across Ghana.
Ethically handmade, every purchase helps preserve traditional weaving techniques while empowering artisan communities with fair wages and sustainable livelihoods.
