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 ordered a few from you and have given some as gifts and EVERYONE loves them! The hardest part is picking the color combos! Beth
I just received my 16 market basket and I absolutely love it! I am so happy that you ship to Canada, so I was able to purchase one. It is beautiful, very useful for me to store all my towels in, is made with much care and detail and was easier than I thought to reshape. It's perfect. Thank you for providing such a great product while assisting others in a fair marketplace. Melissa
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.
