FAQs

A round Bolga basket is a deep, bowl-shaped basket with a single arched handle, handwoven from elephant grass by Frafra weavers in Bolgatanga, northern Ghana. Each one is made by a single weaver who splits, twists, and weaves the dried grass by hand over three days to a week depending on the size.
The rounded, open body is what suits it to carrying and holding, from a market shop to storage around the home.

Round Bolga baskets come in four sizes: small at 20 to 29cm, medium at 29 to 36cm, large at 36 to 42cm, and extra large from 42.5cm up.
Leather and vegan handle options run across the range, with the extra large finished in leather.
Colours range from natural straw to bright, hand-dyed tones, with a unicolour range in the small and large sizes.
You can choose your basket in two ways. With Colour of Your Choice, you select your preferred colour tones and we choose a basket to match.
If you’d rather pick a specific piece, you can browse our individually listed round baskets, where each basket is shown on its own and the exact one you choose is the one you’ll receive.

Round Bolga baskets are designed for carrying and everyday use, with a balanced, circular shape that’s easy to hold by hand. Their rounded form also allows them to sit neatly in a space, making them just as suited to use around the home as they are for carrying.

If you love the idea of a carry basket with longer handles and a more upright shape, have a look at our African market baskets, available in different sizes.
If you’re drawn to a longer shape, check out our oval Bolga baskets, with leather or vegan handles.

Woven round 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.
