Mini African market baskets are compact, handwoven baskets from Bolgatanga, Northern Ghana.
Made from elephant grass with leather handles, they carry the same tight weave and craftsmanship as the full-size Bolga market basket, in a smaller, easy-to-carry size for daily errands and everyday use.
Materials: Woven from natural, sustainably harvested elephant grass, each basket is made by hand within weaving communities in Northern Ghana that have practiced this craft for generations.
Yes. Small and medium round Bolga baskets are a popular alternative, with leather or vegan handles, and a circular shape that works just as well around the home as it does for carrying.
Small round baskets sit between 20-29cm in diameter, and medium round baskets between 29-36cm.
Our market baskets come in three sizes: mini, standard, and long handle.
The mini market basket is compact enough for daily errands and easy to carry by hand. The standard market basket is a good step up in size, and the long handle version matches the standard in size but with handles up to 38cm, making it easy to carry over the shoulder.
All market basket styles are handwoven in Bolgatanga, Northern Ghana, and come in designs across a range of colours and patterns.
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. Or browse our individually named Market baskets, where each piece is shown on its own and the exact basket you choose is the one you’ll receive.
Woven market 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.
