THANKS FOR STOPPING BY!! Additional info- These beautiful hand-woven baskets are from Ghana, West Africa. The “Bolga baskets” are all natural baskets made from elephant grass. The elephant grass grows wild and is harvested, dried into straw then woven be the women of the village. The men primarily tan the goat hides and work the leather on the handles. The weavers/leather crafters of the “Bolga baskets” are mostly farm families from the historic town of Bolgatanga. The families have been weaving and selling these handcrafted works of art for generations! The purchase of these baskets is helping a farmer in Africa. The specialized weaving process makes these baskets strong yet flexible, they can be reshaped or washed by getting them wet with water and forming them with your hands. Rewetting baskets every now and again will actually add flexibility to the natural fibers and extend the life of the basket. These beautiful baskets handcrafted by farmers in Ghana are green, sustainable and long lasting.
