Weaving Bolga Baskets in 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.
These genuine Bolga baskets are exclusively woven by the indigenous Gurune people around the town of Bolgatanga in Northern Ghana.

I received my basket last week. Your website said exactly as shown in image but I was a bit skeptical until it arrived. And YES! It is the exact same one shown on your website. It's not only beautiful, it's also just what I've been needing. This basket will serve me well at farmers' markets, picnic outings, and many everyday errands. I am pleased. Carla
I love the Bolga baskets because they are beautiful, quality, functional works of art. The saturated colors are amazing. This may sound crazy, but when I opened the box, the basket was breathtaking! It, and the fan, are incredibly bright and beautiful. It was like Christmas! Anyway, I am so happy with my purchase, and I will be buying from you again...especially when I need a gift for myself! Thank you so much! Terry
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.
