OVERVIEW
Handwoven in Ghana, the Oval Bolga Basket combines everyday function with artisanal craft. Its oval form, generous leather handles, and sturdy flat base make it ideal for markets, the beach, picnics, or even as stylish home storage.
FORM & DETAILS
Crafted by skilled artisans in the Bolgatanga region of Ghana, each Bolga basket is made from durable Kinkanhe straw, also known as elephant grass. The grass is harvested, soaked, and tightly twisted for strength before being woven into form. Finished with hand-stitched leather handles for comfort and longevity, every basket carries the marks of the maker. Natural variations in tone, size, and weave ensure each piece is truly unique.
STYLING NOTES
This versatile oval African Bolga basket is equally at home, in your home as a stylish storage option or on the go. Use it as a market basket, picnic basket, or beach carryall, or repurpose it for storing throws, shoes, or toys. Its timeless, organic look complements pared-back, coastal, bohemian, or earthy interiors while adding a touch of cultural authenticity.
