Market Basket, Handmade in Ghana by Women Artisans, Natural + Navy Color: Midnight + Natural 1 EA (EXTRA LARGE: 15"-17")

Bolgatanga is a large town in the Northeastern Region of Ghana. Just outside the town lay dozens of small villages, many of which have different languages and customs. One commonality between many of these villages is the fact that the women supplement family incomes by weaving baskets using locally-grown straw called “Elephant Grass.” These women often work together in small co-op settings sharing the labor involved with making the traditional “Bolga Basket.” Each basket represents many hours, and sometimes several days, of labor. Each artisan who weaves these baskets has many years of experience. Your purchase of The African Home Goods basket directly impacts the lives of these families and supports a tradition that has lasted generations.
