Oval Bolga baskets are handwoven in Bolgatanga, northern Ghana, from locally grown elephant grass using traditional coiling techniques passed down through generations of Frafra weavers.
The elongated shape suits carrying longer items and fits differently in shelving and storage compared with round styles.
Our oval Bolga baskets are available with leather handles or as vegan baskets without leather. You can order by colour tone, where you select your preferred colours and we match a basket to your choice, or select an individually named basket and receive the exact piece pictured.
