FAQs
Are your natural baskets sustainable?
Our entire range of African market baskets are individually hand woven by our creative weavers in Ghana. The raw elephant grass is a 100% sustainable natural material. The grass is harvested, dried and finally boiled to dye. The weavers split each length into two then roll it to give it more strength. Each weaver has their own special techniques. Baskets may take 3 days to one week to make depending on the size, design and intricacy of the patterns.

 

What is the difference between closed weave and open weave?
Closed weave is a solid, tight weave throughout the Bolga basket, whereas our open weave Bolga baskets will feature design gaps between sections of solid tight weaving. Check out our entire range of open and closed woven African market baskets here!
