New Shipment of Bolga Baskets

New Shipment of Bolga Baskets

Posted by Ellen Hess on 11th Apr 2024

We recently received a shipment of Bolga baskets we're excited to have on the floor at our Port Gamble site. These fair trade Bolga baskets come from the Bolgatanga region in West Africa's northern Ghana location. These baskets are known for their durability and versatility. Whether using as a shopping tote or for storing linens or children's toys, these baskets make a reliable storage tote. Woven from elephant grass, an abundantly growing plant in northern Ghana, equipped with leather handles made from local goat skin, the production of these sturdy baskets has minimal impact on the environment. The basket export industry is a crucial source of income for weavers and you're are not only supporting local markets at their weaving locations, your purchase also helps traditional craftsmanship flourish, and is an overall sustainable product to add to your life. We hope as you explore our different basket designs, you find one to suit your needs.
