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 just want to let you know that my baskets arrived about an hour ago. I was so excited. I opened both boxes and I am so pleased and happy. They are just what I hoped they would be...large and beautifully made and very colorful. I could not be more pleased. I have told many people about your website and these wonderful baskets. -- Cathy My daughter-in-law is from Kenya and was happy to receive this as a gift. The bowl is beautiful in the sun and the fair trade makes me feel good about the purchase too. Carol
I love my baskets. So happy with them. Very well made & quality workmanship. I will order again. Patricia
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.
