Baby and kids Bolga baskets from Bashiri are handwoven from elephant grass (veta vera) by Frafra weavers in Bolgatanga, Upper East Region of Ghana.
The grass is harvested from the White Volta flood plains, dried, and coiled by hand into forms that are strong, lightweight, and open enough in structure to allow airflow.
Some baskets in this range include leather handles.
No plastic components, synthetic linings, or surface treatments are used.
Yes. Our woven baskets are made from natural elephant grass and coloured using natural dyes.
The open weave structure means air moves through the basket freely, which matters for nursery storage and change station use. No plastic components or synthetic linings are used.
All Bashiri Bolga baskets, including the baby and kids range, are made by Frafra weavers in Bolgatanga, Upper East Region of Ghana, the centre of Bolga weaving tradition.
Elephant grass weaving has been practised in this region for generations, and the techniques used to make these handwoven baby baskets today remain consistent with how they have always been made.
Bashiri curates each piece directly from these weaving communities in northern Ghana.
The mini market baskets and small round Bolga baskets in this range are lightweight enough for a young child to carry.
They suit children from around two years and up.
Moses baskets and Baby change baskets are designed for nursery use and include handles for adults to carry and reposition them. They sit flat and stable on a change table, floor, or shelf.
Bolga baskets made from elephant grass (veta vera) are naturally low maintenance.
The tight coil weave used by Frafra weavers in Bolgatanga creates a dense, resilient structure that holds its form well under normal use.
A light wipe with a damp cloth removes dust or surface marks when needed.
For baskets with leather handles, an occasional wipe keeps the leather in good condition.
Store away from prolonged direct sunlight to preserve the natural colour of the grass.
