FAQs

Bolga laundry baskets are handwoven in Bolgatanga, Northern Ghana, using locally grown elephant grass.

Artisans build each basket by hand using traditional Bolga weaving techniques, creating a strong but breathable structure suited to everyday laundry use.
Styles include open baskets and baskets with woven lids, with each piece shaped by the weaver for holding, storing, and airing laundry.

Bolga laundry baskets are available in a small range of styles.
Open baskets have no lid and offer easy access, making them well suited to everyday use.
Closed baskets with a flat woven lid keep laundry neatly out of view and give the basket a more finished look.
Closed baskets with a raised or peaked woven lid (sometimes described as a hat-style lid) have a more sculptural form. This three-dimensional shape takes extra skill to weave and reflects the individuality and craftsmanship of the maker.
All styles feature leather handles, making them easy to lift and move around the home.

Alongside our Bolga laundry baskets, we offer a range of woven storage baskets for different uses around the home.
Hamper baskets are a popular option for general storage. They’re typically shorter than laundry baskets and commonly used for throw blankets, toys, firewood, and everyday household items, though they can also be used for laundry.
Just like our laundry baskets, they’re handwoven in Ghana from elephant grass.

Our laundry 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 $90.
