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 do Bolga Baskets 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?

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. It is essential to ensure that your basket stays moisture-free to prevent mold growth. 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.

Just beautiful

I am so thrilled with this basket! I wanted something I could pass on to my siblings when they have children. Better quality than others on market and I felt like I was supporting a better business. It’s prettier than pictured. I don’t usually review items but this deserves all the praise. It also came faster than the estimated shipping time.

Love the basket

The basket came as advertised and was only slightly mishapen from shipping. The instructions for reshaping it worked like a charm. It is a little bigger than I anticipated in spite of the measurements given...perhaps having a small, medium and large basket pictured together with the dimensions might make it easier to choose the best size for a person. But overall it was a great shopping experience and I would do it again.

Great sun hat

I have had a similar hat with a smaller brim for several years and really like it. Thought I'd try the bigger one for more sum protection. Really appreciate the braided leather "stampede string". It's really windy here.

The most beautiful bassinet & changing basket!!

I honestly have never owned anything for my babies that I am this proud of like I am with the baby bassinet & changing basket.. These were definitely made with LOVE! The customer service is sooo IMPECABLE! I initially ordered from another company and was let down and ordered these last minute & they were shipped to Ireland 3 days before my due date. I am super obsessed!

Beautiful baskets

Love the baskets, we got a Moses basket and a changing basket with mattresses.
The colour is more navy blue rather than the black we were going for but we know that’s the way these things go with handmade items!
I’d still 100% recommend the items!
