The Bolga basket weaving tradition of Ghana's Bolgatanga region is generations old. Each basket is expertly hand-woven from native dried Elephant grass, taking days to even weeks to complete. Basket weaving has become an integral part of the social structure of many Bolgatanga villages and provides income for up to some 10,000 persons, namely women. All of our Bolga baskets are Fair Trade certified.

The Linka style basket or vase features a fully woven symmetrical design with a restrained, yet colourful patterning.

Why buy from us?:

All of our Bolga baskets ship from Canada where they have undergone quality control and have been reshaped from flat pack shipping. Note that while purchasing a unit directly from Ghana may be cheaper, the item will arrive deformed and there is great risk of damage en route; we found this out the hard way!
