What are Bolga Baskets?

Bolga baskets, or Bolgatanga Baskets, are handwoven baskets from northern Ghana’s Bolgatanga region. They are woven from natural elephant grass and plant-based traditional dyes and are mostly celebrated for their unique craftsmanship, vibrant colors, exceptional durability, and sustainable qualities. Bolga baskets are exclusive to the Bolgatanga region of Ghana, and skilled artisans of the region use traditional weaving techniques passed down through generations to create each exquisite basket, thereby preserving the traditional art form. The creation of Bolga baskets is not just a mere pastime for the indigenous people of rural Bolgatanga; the production of Bolga baskets provides a vital source of income for many local families. This craft has a significant economic impact on the region, supporting the livelihoods of numerous households.

How long does Bolga Basket last?

Thanks to the inherent resilience of elephant grass, a well-cared-for Bolga basket can last up to three decades. Bolga baskets are exceptionally durable and sturdy.

How do i care for my Bolga Basket?

It is important to ensure that your basket stays moisture-free to prevent molding. This is a crucial aspect to keep in mind to maintain the basket’s longevity and quality. If you need to wet your basket to reshape or clean it, dry it thoroughly before using it again. You can air dry it in the sun or a well-ventilated area. Cleaning your Bolga Basket is a simple process. Start by rinsing it under running water to remove dust and dirt. Occasionally, mix a mild dish soap with warm water and gently scrub using a soft cloth. Then, rinse and dry. If your Bolga Basket has developed mould due to extended exposure to water, apply lemon juice to the affected area and leave to dry under sun, this will get rid of the mould.

The quality of this basket is amazing! It was exactly as described except better than I expected. Lucky are those who get to own one of these special items.

This basket is so well made. Nothing like the ones in home goods stores. Worth every penny

This basket is beautifull and very well made. It arrived a bit out of shape but I wet it as in the instructions and the shape got back to normal very easily.
Communication with store owner was quick and easy, fast shipping.
unfortunately DHL charged high taxes for no apparent reason on arrival.
Definatly recommend buying!

love this basket! there was a small mixup on the size but that was quickly handled. all in all, I'm very happy.

I am so pleased with the basket I ordered (option 2)! I bought it to hold bath towels. It arrived in a timely manner and did not need to be reshaped.
