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 just wanted to let you know I picked up my new baskets from the post office today and they are LOVELY!!!!! I think they are even prettier than I hoped they would be and I can't wait to hang them on my kitchen wall. Ruth in Norway
I just wanted to let you know that I got my baskets yesterday. WOW! That was fast. I wanted to tell you how pleased I am with the baskets and your service. I also really appreciate your website set-up that allows customers to choose the baskets they want versus most others who give you no choice. I've bought two other baskets locally just because I wanted that choice. Now that I've found your site, I'll be back!! Sheila
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.
