A small Bolga basket is a compact round basket measuring 20 to 29cm across, hand-woven from elephant grass by Frafra weavers in northern Ghana.
The name comes from Bolgatanga, the town in the country’s Upper East Region where the dried grass is twisted and woven by hand.
The smaller form is the everyday one you reach for to hold fruit, keys, or small odds and ends.
Small round Bolga baskets suit light shopping, small-space storage, and styling. Common uses include holding fruit and herbs in the kitchen, gathering keys and small everyday items by the door, or tidying craft supplies, toiletries, or a potted plant on a shelf. Made from elephant grass, each one is light to carry and firm enough to hold its shape through daily use.
For a compact basket in a different shape, the mini market baskets are a similar size with an upright form and taller handles.
Small round Bolga baskets come in colours ranging from natural straw to bright, hand-dyed tones, with striped, patterned, and unicolour designs, all made by hand.
You can choose a basket two ways: browse the individually photographed baskets on this page, where the exact basket you see is the one you receive, or use Colour of Your Choice to pick your tones and have a basket matched to them.
Small round Bolga baskets come with either a leather handle or a vegan handle, so you can choose the option that suits you.
Both are crafted on the same hand-woven elephant grass body and rounded shape, so the choice comes down to the handle. Browse the Vegan round Bolga baskets to see the current vegan range of round baskets.
