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.
My baskets arrived today, and I love them!!! The pink one is a gift for my daughter. She was adopted from South Africa, and she loved this basket when she saw it on my computer. I am a blogger and I will take some nice photos and post them on my blog with a link to your site. Natacha
I received my baskets last night. They are beautiful!! Thank you very much for introducing me to such beautiful artwork from Africa. Yukiko
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.
