Description
Tell us the colour family you want and we match a Bolga market basket from our collection.
Every basket is hand-woven in Bolgatanga, northern Ghana, from elephant grass (veta vera), by Frafra weavers Bashiri has worked with since 1997.
Because each basket is hand-woven, no two look exactly alike. The colour swatches show the range within each palette. The basket you receive will sit somewhere in that scheme rather than match a photo exactly.

The Bolga basket will feature a solid, tight weave throughout the basket.

The Bolga basket will feature design gaps between sections of solid tight weaving.

FAQs

How do choose the colour of my market basket?
Choose a basket colour from the dropdown menu to see examples of your chosen colour:
Woodlands, Violets, Blues, Bright Tones, Natural, or Multi Colour. You can also note a colour preference at checkout, and we’ll match as closely as we can.
Every basket is hand-woven and one-of-a-kind, so the photos show the palette, not the exact basket you’ll receive.
Can I choose an exact basket instead of a colour palette?
Yes. Our range of Bolga market baskets lists individual baskets by name. Select a basket market from that range and the exact basket you see is the one you’ll receive.
What are Bolga market baskets used for?
The leather handles are stitched to carry real weight, so these woven baskets are popular as an everyday shopping basket for the market or grocery run, as well as garden hauls. Around the home, they double as a kitchen basket, or light storage for throws and toys.
Do you have other market basket styles?
Yes. Our market basket range includes the mini market basket, a smaller option for everyday carrying or storage, that is also popular for kids.
The long handle market basket is the same size as the classic one, just with longer handles for carrying over the shoulder.
