FAQs

Bolga baskets are handwoven in Bolgatanga, Northern Ghana, using locally grown elephant grass.
Artisans craft each basket by hand using traditional weaving techniques passed down through generations.
Valued for their strength and flexibility, they’re commonly used for décor, storage, shopping, laundry, and carrying.
Each basket reflects the skill and choices of the individual weaver, and we work directly with weaving communities in Ghana, supporting long-standing relationships and ongoing livelihoods.

Some Bolga baskets are offered with a colour of your choice option, where you select preferred colour tones and a basket is chosen to match.
In addition, all styles are also individually listed, with each basket photographed and named, so you receive the exact piece shown.
Both options are handwoven in Ghana and finished by individual makers.

Our woven baskets are made for everyday life, with styles including market baskets for carrying, round baskets for décor or general storage, African laundry baskets, baby Moses baskets, and oval baskets with an elongated shape.
Each style is crafted around its purpose, from sturdy, open forms for shopping to deeper, more contained designs for the home.
Finishes range from natural weaves to patterned and coloured designs, with leather or vegan handle options.

African Bolga baskets are packed to help maintain their shape in transit and are shipped from Australia. Shipping costs and delivery timeframes are calculated at checkout based on your location and order size. We offer free shipping Australia-wide on orders over $110.
