yOUR ULTIMATE SUMMER GUIDE

Summer is finally here, (Woohoo!!) and it’s time to soak up the sun, enjoy some lazy afternoons, and indulge in everything this beautiful season has to offer. Whether you’re planning beach days, backyard barbecues, or a trip to your local park, you need a few essentials to make it all the more enjoyable. That’s why we’ve put together Your Ultimate Summer Essentials Guide—a list of must-haves that will keep you cool, stylish, and organised all season long. From woven baskets to sun hats and cooling fans, we’ve got the essentials covered.

1. WOVEN BASKETS MORE THAN JUST STORAGE

When it comes to summer essentials, our woven Bolga baskets are a game-changer. These versatile and eco-friendly baskets are not only practical but can also be a stylish addition to your home or beach bag. At Bashiri, we offer a stunning collection of Bolga baskets, handmade with love by artisans in Ghana. These baskets are perfect for a variety of uses—from holding towels, sunscreen, and snacks for a picnic, to storing your beach essentials or even adding a unique touch to your home decor.

Not only do they help keep things organised, but their natural, earthy design brings a bit of summer charm wherever they go. So, whether you’re lounging in your backyard or packing up for a day at the beach, our woven baskets are essential to keep your belongings stylishly in check. Check out our Market baskets, Mega wawa and XL round Bolga baskets perfect for beach days.

2. STYLISH HATS: STAY COOL AND PROTECTED

No summer day is complete without a hat to protect your face and add that extra dash of flair. A good hat not only helps shield you from the sun but also keeps you looking chic no matter where you go. At Bashiri, we carry a variety of hats that will complete your summer look while keeping you cool. Think wide-brimmed straw hats, perfect for lounging poolside, or a narrow brimmed hat that’s just right for an outdoor lunch. Your ultimate summer essentials guide has got you covered!

These hats are more than just accessories—they’re essential summer gear. Whether you’re attending a garden party or simply enjoying a walk in the park, a stylish hat can take your outfit to the next level. Don’t forget: it’s not only about the look; it’s about sun protection too.

3. COOLING FANS: BEAT THE HEAT IN STYLE

We all know how hot those summer days can get. Whether you’re lounging outdoors or trying to stay cool indoors, a hand held fan is a must-have. At Bashiri, our Bolga fans and Fabric Fans are the perfect solution. Our Bolga Fans are handwoven using elephant grass. These fans are both functional and beautiful, adding a pop of colour to your summer ensemble. Lightweight and portable, they’re the perfect companion to help you stay cool during those sweltering afternoons.

What’s more, our Fabric fans are just as stylish as they are functional. You can easily tuck one into your beach bag or picnic basket, making it a great addition to your summer essentials kit. Trust us, once you’ve tried one of our fans, you won’t want to spend another summer day without it.

4. BREATHABLE CLOTHING: KEEP COOL IN A DASHIKI

When summer hits, it’s time to ditch those heavy fabrics and switch to something lighter and breezier. Our 100% Cotton Dashiki shirt is your best friend during the hot months. Cotton is breathable, allowing your skin to stay cool and comfortable no matter how high the temperatures rise.

Whether you’re wearing a flowy skirt for a day out, paired with our Dashiki shirt for an afternoon at the beach, breathable clothing is an essential summer must-have. Your ultimate summer essentials guide has got your back!

Pair your light summer outfits with one of our stylish shoulder bags for a complete, functional look that’s perfect for any occasion. A well-chosen bag can complement your outfit while also serving as storage for sunscreen, sunglasses, and other must-have summer items.

5. SAHEL BLANKETS: OUTDOOR ADVENTURES

Picnics are one of the best ways to enjoy summer, and no picnic is complete without a good blanket. Whether you’re planning a laid-back afternoon in the park or a beach picnic, our comfortable, Sahel blankets will make sure you stay comfy while enjoying your outdoor meal.
