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 safely on Friday. They are all wonderful, all of the highest workmanship. All I can say about the beaded copper basket is WOW. It is absolutely fabulous. When I hold that basket up to the light and look at the bottom of it, it looks like very fine lace. Catherine
I just got my basket and absolutely love it. I want more! I think it is a great thing that you are doing, and I have to believe that the women that make them are directly benefiting from the baskets they make. Thanks again, and now I must shop. Beth
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.
