Colorful, Large Baskets from Ghana

Artisans in the Bolgatanga region of Ghana weave these beautiful and durable shoppers from thick, tough elephant grass. Bolga baskets stand up to use and abuse and remain functional and beautiful for years.  Baskets are not tracked by color! Call the store if you would like a specific color or colors. Use as a beach basket, picnic basket, market shopper, decorative basket at home, or whatever moves you!  It is the perfect size to fit towels, sunscreen, sandals, snacks and sunglasses. The baskets can easily fit a picnic blanket, drinks and snacks for the perfect picnic. The leather wrapped handle adds to the durability.   Approximate size: 16"-19" across, height: 11-12"  The baskets are fairly made in Africa. The artisans use their earnings to put food on the table and pay educational expenses for their children.  If your basket is flattened, spray it with water and fill with something to shape it while it dries.
