Our hand woven African baskets are from Bolga in Northern Ghana. Traditionally used to carry goods, the Ghanaian bolga baskets are famous for their durability and long lasting quality. Made from dried elephant grass, dyed using a combination of natural occurring dyes from the earth and fabric dyes to achieve the vibrant colours and patterns recognisable throughout African culture.
Pictured here is a medium sized African basket in natural with tan leather handles.
The classic Bolga basket.
We have 4 sizes available, see the full range of African baskets here:
Our Bolga baskets come in 4 different sizes, small through to extra large. Below we have listed size guidance and it is important to note that each basket can vary in size due to the nature of how they are made. Many basket weavers go by sight when weaving different sizes and so consequently we get a range in sizing.
Small: 22 – 29cm in diameter, average 15cm in height
Medium: 30 – 37cm in diameter, average 18-20cm in height
Large: 38 – 43cm in diameter, average 23cm in height
Extra large: 44cm + in diameter, average 30cm in height
(height does not include the handle of the basket)
Please note that due to the handmade nature of these baskets, dimensions can vary and the above dimensions are an approximation only. If you require a basket with specific dimensions, please contact us and we can check our stock to find one to meet your needs.
Useful to use as storage baskets, market baskets, fruit baskets, toy baskets, shopping baskets, picnic baskets, beach baskets – the uses are endless!
These woven baskets may need to be reshaped after being in transit – see our care instructions for easy steps on how to do this.
