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. These baskets in particular were woven from undyed grass.

Thank you so much for the excellent service. Website was simple to use, and the baskets arrived quickly and undamaged. The beauty, quality, and design of the baskets are so much more than I expected. I appreciate all you do through this project. Angie
The basket I purchased from you is absolutely beautiful and it is displayed prominently in my living room where I see it all through the day. It's my pleasure to support the exceptionally talented weavers. Many Thanks for your commitment to this effort and for your generosity! Clare
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.
