We love using these natural baskets for our knitting or crochet projects, but they obviously can be used for so many things. Store your favorite craft items in there, or toys, tools, magazines, blankets, fresh produce or use the baskets when grocery shopping; they are just so versatile!
These beautiful Fair Trade Bolga baskets are made in Bolgatanga, the most northern province of Ghana. The Bolga baskets are a traditional and handmade product. The variety is enormous, they come in different sizes and colours, from natural colours to extremely bright and colourful. The baskets are made with elephant grass and are woven by women. It takes approximately 5-6 days to weave 1 basket.
Gone Arty is a fair trade company and ensures stable and fair wages for the weavers.
Because these are all hand made, none of the baskets have the exact same size or shape. The average medium sized basket has a diameter of approximately 30cm.
These baskets are easy to take care of, and in case your basket is bend out of shape, just dampen the basket and bend it back in the desired shape.
