Bolga Basket Range: The Art of Weaving

Bolga Basket Range: The Art of Weaving

Did you know?

The art of weaving is multi-generational, predominantly undertaken by women. A social activity, the women will often sit inside or outdoors underneath a mango tree, singing and dancing as they weave.

We believe in supporting and respecting the artists we buy from, doing business at local and fair market prices. We get to know each artist and supplier personally, establishing rapport and learning about the pieces they create before purchasing. Meet our weavers.

African bolga baskets are made stylishly and crafted to be both aesthetic and practical.

Available in a variety of colours, Bashiri has the perfect bolga basket for your needs.
