Large Rubber Handled Bolga Baskets

Today we took our selection of large Bolga market baskets with rubber handles out of the internet room and placed them on the floor for customers seeking to purchase one of our unique baskets in person at our store in Port Gamble, Washington. This particular Bolga market basket is a good option for vegans and others looking for a leather-free market basket. This fair trade African basket is round with a single black rubber handle, durable as a sturdy shopping tote and comfortable to hold. Tote toys, beach towels, picnic supplies, and more with our 8 pattern options. The name of these baskets is derived from the Bolgatanga region of Northern Ghana in West Africa where Bolga baskets are among the best known African baskets because of their durability and versatility. They are woven from elephant grass, which grows abundantly in the area of that region. A critical source of income for the weavers is the basket export industry, particularly when harvests are poor. Like many of our products, our Bolga baskets are also sustainable products, and their production has a minimal impact on the environment. If you choose one of these vegan African market baskets, each sale helps traditional craftsmanship to flourish.
