Mega Wawa Basket – Posh

Same day dispatch

Bolga Mega Wawa basket, oblong with a double weave. Two layers of elephant grass coil through the body instead of one, a technique only the most experienced weavers take on, and it’s what gives the Mega Wawa its wide, open shape while keeping it sturdy even when loaded. Soft, sunny checks fill the centre of this handwoven basket between warm and cool stripes, with twin leather handles for a firm grip.

This basket has scuffing on the leather handles with all imperfections clearly shown in the photos. The price has been adjusted accordingly.

Dimensions: Width 27cm, height 28cm (excludes handles), length 51cm

Description

About our MEGA WAWA BASKETS

The Mega Wawa is a double weave basket, made with two layers of elephant grass through the body instead of one, and only the most experienced weavers take this on. That extra layer is what gives the Mega Wawa its density and sturdiness.

FAQs

How does the Mega Wawa’s shape compare to other Bolga baskets?
The round Bolga basket shares the same everyday carry purpose, just in a round profile instead of the Mega Wawa’s oblong shape, and the large and XL round baskets are the closest match in size if a round profile suits better.
The oval Bolga basket is narrower and slimmer overall, where the Mega Wawa carries a roomier body.

Are Mega Wawa baskets available undyed, in natural elephant grass?
Yes, the Mega Wawa range includes a natural basket alongside the dyed colourways. It skips the dyeing step entirely, so the grass goes straight from drying to weaving.

What other large Bolga baskets does Bashiri carry, besides the Mega Wawa?
The XL round basket and the hamper basket are two other large options, both handwoven from elephant grass by the same Bolgatanga weavers as the Mega Wawa. The XL round keeps a wide, open profile, while the hamper basket is shaped more for laundry and storage.
