Midnight Blue Checkered Natural Bolga Basket

Bolga baskets are perhaps the most iconic of handmade African baskets, so it's no surprise that they are loved and well-used in homes everywhere. Talented weavers in Bolgatanga, Ghana, apply their skill to turn stiff stalks of elephant grass into these beautiful works of functional art.

Bolga baskets are shipped flattened to shape your baskets simply spray the basket lightly with cool water, focusing on any creased areas. Allow the water to absorb into the fibres for a few minutes, then press the basket into shape. Air dry and you're all done!
