Oval Basket – Guyana

About our woven oval basket

Bolga oval baskets are made from elephant grass in Northern Ghana, finished with leather handles cut from sustainably sourced offcuts.
Oval baskets complement narrower spaces and sit neatly where a round basket won’t – beside the couch, along a hallway wall, or in a room corner.

FAQs

Is there a vegan option for this basket?
Each basket is handmade and one of a kind, so there isn’t an identical vegan version of this exact design.

Who are the weavers of your baskets?
These baskets are woven in Ghana from elephant grass by skilled weavers, using traditional methods that have been passed down through generations. Weaving is often a family and community craft, with skills learned over years through practice and shared knowledge.

Each basket is made by one person from start to finish, and that work helps support livelihoods within the weaving communities.
Small differences in shape and finish are part of that handmade process, and a sign of the maker’s hand.
