These genuine Bolga baskets are exclusively woven by the indigenous Gurune people around the town of Bolgatanga in Northern Ghana.
For many generations, weaving has been a traditional skill of the Gurune people of northern Ghana. Mostly done by women, basket weaving and other handicrafts supplement these subsistence farmers’ incomes.
Just wanted to thank you for the baskets I got today-- they are beautiful and arrived in perfect condition, and so quickly! I am so grateful that I can get the exact basket that I see-- something no-one else does. Rita
I just received three baskets from Ghana. They are all beautiful and will make wonderful Christmas gifts. So much so that I just ordered another basket. Thank you for making these purchases so easy. You have a great site and I'm sure I'll be ordering from you again. Diane
All of our African baskets are verified Fair Trade, because we believe that indigenous people around the world should be compensated fairly for their amazing work.
