FAQs

Large round Bolga baskets measure approximately 36 to 42cm across the top, the most popular size for everyday carrying and home storage.
The depth takes a full grocery shop, a stack of folded throws, or a child’s toys, while staying light enough to carry by the handles. If you need more room again, extra large Bolga baskets give even more depth in the same round shape.

With the colour of your choice option you pick a colour scheme and we’ll choose a matching basket, woven by Frafra weavers in Bolgatanga from hand-dyed elephant grass.
You can also select an individually listed basket, where the exact one photographed is the one you’ll get, or a natural or unicolour Bolga basket in a single bold shade such as navy, red, or green.

Yes, the vegan version of large round Bolga baskets is woven entirely from elephant grass, with no leather used anywhere on the basket.
The elephant grass handle is a little more delicate than a leather one, so it suits lighter loads: bread, flowers, leafy greens, scarves, or a summer blanket. For anything heavier, the sturdier leather-handled Bolga baskets are the better fit.
You can see the full vegan large Bolga baskets range across the round collection.

The colours on a large round Bolga basket come from dyeing the elephant grass before it is woven, so the colour runs through the fibres rather than sitting on the surface.
The dyed lengths are then woven by hand into the finished pattern, which is how bright designs, earthy tones, and bold unicolour baskets are all built. If you would rather have no dye at all, round natural Bolga baskets keep the pale, undyed grass.
