FAQs

Bashiri hamper baskets are large, bowl-shaped baskets handwoven in Bolgatanga, Northern Ghana, from elephant grass harvested along the flood plains of the White Volta river. The grass is locally sourced, the dyes are plant-based, and because every basket is shaped by hand, no two are identical.

Generous in size, they suit laundry, gift hampers, open storage, and more, sitting as comfortably in a living room as a bedroom or bathroom.
