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.
I received my Zulu basket today and, of course, it's beautiful. It's always so much fun to get a package from you-- just makes my day! I really can't adequately express how much it means to me. As I've told you before, you're a very special individual to do the work you do, and the weavers and your customers are the lucky ones who benefit from it. Once again, thank you so very much! By the way, every time I think your site can't possibly get more variety, you get more outstanding merchandise. Holy cow! Never ceases to amaze me! Suzi
