This beautiful basket is entirely handwoven by women from various communities in Bolgatanga, through a foundation dedicated to promoting women's empowerment and youth education through basketry.
Our U-shaped basket is versatile, suitable for shopping, beach outings, adding a unique touch to your summer outfits, or as decorative storage in any room of your home. It is 100% natural, primarily made from elephant grass, a type of straw found in Ghana, which can be used in its natural form or dyed, and features a handle wrapped in varying colors of leather. Please note that due to its handmade nature, each piece is unique.
Baskets are shipped FLATTENED into a box. You can shape your basket by wetting the straw and shaping the basket with your hands, then allowing it to dry.
