Planter basket – Natural Open weave

From $26

Same day dispatch

Woven plant basket in a natural open weave, handmade in Bolgatanga, Ghana.
The open weave sets panels of tight weaving against deliberate gaps, which gives the basket a lighter, more textured look and lets a little light through the sides.
Each basket is woven by a single weaver, so they vary slightly.
Diameter: 29-32 cm | Height: 24-28 cm

That's 118 characters, and it carries the entity signals (Bolga, Bolgatanga, elephant grass) that do the AIO work.

Two quick alternates depending on emphasis:

Shorter: Natural open weave Bolga planter basket in elephant grass, Bolgatanga Ghana (75 char)
Keyphrase-led, if you want "woven plant basket" in the alt too: Woven plant basket in a natural open weave, handmade in Bolgatanga Ghana from elephant grass
First one's my pick - it names the plant use, which suits a planter listing, while still leading with the product and origin.

Natural plant basket

This planter basket is woven in Bolgatanga, in northern Ghana, by Frafra weavers from elephant grass (veta vera). The natural version is left undyed, so the colour is the grass itself.
Drop a potted plant straight in, or use it as open storage for magazines and odds and ends. Bashiri has bought directly from the same weavers in Bolgatanga since 1997, choosing each basket in person.

FAQs

What is an open weave?
An open weave has deliberate gaps between sections of solid, tight weaving, rather than one continuous tight surface. It gives the basket a more textured, airy look, and makes it a little lighter than a close-woven basket.

Can I choose a specific design for my Planter basket?
Certainly.
Check out our range of individually named Planter baskets.
Every Planter basket in this collection is vegan, and was handpicked and photographed on its own. this means the exact basket you choose is the one you’ll receive.

Is this woven basket only suitable for plants?
Not at all. Plenty of people pick these up purely as storage baskets for magazines, toys, books, kids. If you need something with more depth and capacity, our hamper baskets are worth a look.
