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 love, love, love, these baskets as they are reflections of my personal style and interest in African art. I appreciate all that you are doing to support the basket weavers and will be shopping again very soon. Elizabeth
My basket has arrived. It's lovely, just like I wanted. Thank you so much! Joanna in Poland
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.
