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 wanted to say thank you for offering such beautiful baskets from Africa. I received my basket today and I am so pleased. It was much bigger than I thought it would be. Loved it so much I ordered a smaller size and can't wait to receive it too. Again thanks so much for your great service. Diane
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
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.
