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.

Thank you!!! I have one of these beautiful baskets and wherever I carry it people tell me how cool it is and ask where I got it. I tell them. I hope they are all buying them from you!!! Maggie
I just received three baskets from Ghana. They are all beautiful and will make wonderful Christmas gifts. So much so that I just ordered another basket. Thank you for making these purchases so easy. You have a great site and I'm sure I'll be ordering from you again. Diane
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.
