Bolga Baskets are made in Bolgatanga, Ghana, a historic, small town in the northern region of Ghana, West Africa. The baskets are purely hand woven, and made from straw called "Elephant Grass". Elephant grass is a wild species of grass native to the tropical grasslands of Africa. Then name elephant grass comes from it being a favorite food of elephants.
The beautiful colors of the baskets are created from plant and fruit extracts that do not stain, fade or run. These stunning market baskets are reinforced with sheep leather.
Naokeidoe's Bolga Baskets are handcrafted works of art that are hand-woven by the weavers of the Frafra Tribe. The sales of these baskets greatly increases the tribe's revenue and helps supplement their farming income. Each basket takes approximately 3 days to complete.
The uses for these beautiful, artisan baskets are unlimited and the baskets are known to last over 30 years. They are extremely durable and can hold just about any weight. The baskets are reshapeable by lightly wetting them with water and then reshaping.
I have been using Bolga basket items in my home for over 15 years. The craftmenship/quality is stunning and the designs are absolutely gorgeous and work well with any decor.
