OVERVIEW
Handwoven in Ghana, the Bell Bolga Basket blends artisanal craftsmanship with everyday versatility. Its sculptural bell-shaped form, durable Kinkanhe straw, and strong leather-bound handle make it both functional and beautiful — perfect for use at home as a storage piece or on the go.
FORM & DETAILS
Each basket is handmade by skilled artisans in the Bolgatanga region of West Africa, where basket weaving is a long-held cultural tradition. Crafted from sustainably harvested elephant grass (Kinkanhe), the fibres are soaked and twisted into durable strands before being meticulously woven into the bell shape. Finished with a large, leather-wrapped handle for comfortable carrying, every basket is one of a kind, with subtle variations in weave, tone, and form.
