A Bolga laundry basket is a large, handwoven basket made by artisans in Bolgatanga, Northern Ghana, from locally grown elephant grass.
The closed version of the laundry basket comes with a fitted lid and leather handles, keeping laundry out of sight while still looking beautiful in your space.
Our baskets are handwoven by artisans in Bolgatanga, Northern Ghana, where basket weaving is a craft handed down through generations.
We visit our artisans annually, pay fair market prices, and have worked with the same weavers since 1997.
Ours is a partnership that supports over 30 weavers and their families.
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.
