Bolga Basket Purse Hand Woven From Ghana

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 these Basket Purses are created from plant and fruit extracts that do not stain, fade or run. These stunning purses are reinforced and designed with sheep leather straps and top closure.   

Naokeidoe's Bolga Basket Purses 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. 

These purses are pure works of art.  The baskets are known to last over 30 years. They are extremely durable and can hold just about any weight. The purses are shapeable 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.  I get compliments every time I wear my Bolga Purse.  It's unique, unusal and one-of-a-kind.  No two are alike because they are handmade works of art.
