These genuine Bolga baskets are exclusively woven by the indigenous Gurune people around the town of Bolgatanga in Northern Ghana. These baskets in particular were woven from undyed grass.
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.
I continue to use my African basket all the time as my garden-produce basket. I LOVE IT!!! It's 100% amazing and awesome. Dave
Can I just say that I love the selection on your website, and I have looked at the website a few times before this order - my first order but not my last. Rebecca
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.
