Bolga Shoulder Bag – Greenleaves

Hand-woven Bolga Shoulder Bag

Each Bolga shoulder bag is woven by hand in northern Ghana using elephant grass, known for its strength and flexibility. The leather straps are made from offcuts, giving them a second life and adding to the bag’s character.
This piece carries the warmth of the maker’s craft – strong enough for daily use, yet light and easy to wear.
