Farmer's Market Bolga Basket - Large
Visually pleasing, with its natural colour and dark leather handles, the Bolga Basket is a perfect addition to any household. Artisans in the Bolgatanga region of Ghana weave these beautiful and durable baskets from thick, tough elephant grass. We recommend using it to store magazines, blankets, slippers, toys, or other household items. Use as a picnic basket, or market basket, or for gathering flowers from the garden. A fantastic alternative to plastic shopping bags, our Farmer’s Market Basket is a favourite amongst green thinkers!
Due to the handmade nature of these baskets each one will be unique with variations. We feel this adds to the whimsy and organic appearance of each basket.
This basket is folded and packed down to allow for more economic shipping and must be reshaped upon arrival.
Reshaping tips:
Thoroughly wet the basket with cold water (to prevent the dye from bleeding). Press and smooth the basket to the desired shape. Shake out excess water, then set in a warm place to dry. Do not place a wet basket on a surface onto which the dye may transfer. Repeat as needed.
Size: 17″ Diameter x 12″ H
Materials: 100% Elephant Grass, leather handle
